* GPS Tracking: Most modern vehicles manufactured within the last decade have GPS tracking installed, which allows the repossession company to track the vehicle's location electronically.
* License Plate Monitoring: Repossession companies may use technology that allows them to scan and record the license plates of vehicles as they drive by, matching the plate number to a database of vehicles they are looking to repossess.
* Informants: Repossession companies may employ or reward informants to report on the location of vehicles they are looking for.
* Skiptracing: Repossession companies may use a process known as "skiptracing" to find a debtor's location, using various resources such as credit reports, social media, public records, and even interviewing friends or family members of the debtor.
If a repossession company is unable to find a vehicle using these methods, they may resort to more drastic measures such as hiring a private investigator or staking out the debtor's home or place of work.
