Can a repo man cut lock holding trailer on to truck up for repo?

In most jurisdictions, a repo man is not allowed to cut a lock holding a trailer to a truck up for repossession. This is because the trailer is considered to be a part of the truck, and therefore, is protected by the same laws that protect the truck from being repossessed. If a repo man cuts a lock holding a trailer to a truck up for repossession, he or she could be held liable for damages.
