The Anonymous Widower

How to Repossess an Aeroplane

I found this story on Popbitch.

It just shows that there are some funny jobs in this world.

But it also reminds me of a story about how to repossess a taxi, when the borrower is behind on the payments.  You may know where he lives, but then you can never be sure whether he is in and if he knows you’re after him, he’s probably got the car and his livelihood securely locked away elsewhere.

So you go to a pub on an anonymous housing estate and phone his firm for a taxi.  You say that you always have X and are prepared to wait.  The firm are always happy to oblige if he’s working.  If not, you say forget it.

Now taxi drivers usually pull up on the pub forecourt, leave the engine running and run into the pub shouting something like “Taxi for the Station”.

When they do, you just get in the taxi and drive away.
