Re: Repossession Rights
Yes, you are entitled to your personal property located within the repossessed vehicle, particularly prescription drugs. You should contact the company that now possesses the vehicle and make arrangements for you to pick up your belongings and inspect the car to see that nothing was left behind.
You can tell them that taking your personal property/belongings without making arrangements to return them to you amounts to unlawful conversion of ownership and most likely the personal tort of theft.
