Repo guys looking for a family members car, banging on the door and shining their light inside the house. I already told them to kick rocks.

Strap on the go pro and grab my shambok? Call the cops?

They'll be back. I'm sure.

I always hated tow truck drivers.

Make sure they are right outside door. Start screaming "that's it, this ends now".
Rack shotgun loudly.

But seriously, give the damn car back already

Eta: upon further thought I realized you may not have control over this family member or the car. That would suck

So I guess do the shotgun thing

Also maybe get naked and grease yourself up then stand in front of the window

Maybe shine a spotlight back at them

Nail 16 penny nails through small sections of plywood and place them just under on the ground in front of all Windows. Cover lightly with mulch. Make sure to take video when hilarity ensues

Paintball grenades

If none of that works strip up sections of sod. Dig pits. Cut 1/4" plywood to fit over holes. Replace sod. Punji sticks are optional

Was the car there?

Eta: I also agree that the fuckers shouldn't be looking in the house.

Get the tag of the repo truck.

Call cops and file harassment

They shouldn't be shining lights in the house

Certified letter to the company advising them that no one from the company is permitted on your property.  Advise in the letter that anyone entering your property from then on is trespassing and you will immediately report them to the police.  Then call the police if they show again.  

Understand that the police cannot arrest unless the people refuse to leave in the presence of the police.  However, you can get a criminal trespass notice filed with the police.  That will allow an automatic arrest after that.

I can explain in more detail if you like.

If the car aint there then they can FOAD.. I wonder how often Mr tow truck driver likes talking to a armed home owner at 1 AM.

if it aint my car or in my driveway then it aint my problem. Had they chose a different format than 1 am to bug the fuck out of me i might choose to be a little more helpful.

This is easy, I got this fellas...  Is the Dead beat family member is in the house?  If so tell them to wake the fuck up and take care of their business.  Kick them out first thing in the morning.  I am all about helping family in need, but Homey don't play the dumb shit.

If not.  Tell the repo guys to fuck off.  Dave don't live here! Tell them, If you come back again it will not be a pleasant experience. You are tired of the bullshit.

If they come back again then it's time to nut up and beat the fuck out of some repo guys.

The end.

Under the Uniform Commercial Code, repossession of secured property cannot occur with a "breach of the peace". Be sure to use this phrase when speaking with police.

I'd wager there are at least two guys, and you wouldn't be the first to try to fight them.

You are in texas, I'd have ordered them off the property at the point of my rifle.  You have a good claim for theft during the cover of darkness.

Easiest thing to do would have been to tell them where the car could be located...  I don't like tow truck drivers either...most Tow companies are run by scumbags and operate in shady ares of the law. We had a tow company clean out 100+ vehicles from a restaurant by our stadium one night. Restaurant was closed and claimed that they never requested vehicles to be removed. I have some leeway for repo guys though. People who buy cars and then don't pay for them are pretty scummy too and they go out of their ways to hide the cars....like using a relative's address instead of their own.

The vehicle and the person who owes the loan company is not there.  They come back after being told not to.  I will assume they are looking for a fight and anything they do from then on out will be taken as a sign of aggression.  It's fo time mother fucker!

1) Get naked

2) Lube up from head to toe with baby oil

3) work yourself up to a raging hard-on

4) Grab a meat-cleaver

5)  Answer the door like that, smile and say, "Sweet... You guys are just in time!  Get in here... This is gonna be GREAT!"

They probably won't come back, in my experiance.

In NC it is that way. If it can't be repossessed without a breach of the peace, then the company must file a civil action to get it.

This.  Call to LE should go something like this:

911: 911, what is the address of your emergency?
You: I'm at 1234 XXXXXX Dr, there's two guys trying to beat my door down.  They're yelling and screaming, one keeps looking in my window, I think they might be trying to get in.
911: Are they armed?
You: I don't know, but I have a shotgun.  I'm not going near the door or outside until the Po-lice get here.

Dispatcher: Delta 412 Charlie 210, 10-35 in progress, Code 1 1234 XXXXXX Dr, Two male subjects at the front door attempting to gain entry, unknown 81s, Delta 412 Charlie 210.
Delta 412: Enroute(siren in background)
Charlie 210: Enroute(siren in background, motor revving)
Sierra 10(SGT): Dispatch, show Sierra 10 Enroute, get K9 started please.

Tow guys have a bad night; Problem solved.  Trespass the assholes, Problem staying solved.

The family member in question could be opening themselves up to fraud and theft by conversion charges for falsely using your address and for hiding the vehicle. This varies some from one state to another but the value of the vehicle can add up to felony charges. It'd be better if they just turned the vehicle over if they can't pay for it.
