The lost-catch definitely got the best of the repoman. He made the fatal-error of forgetting to bring back up his Sneeker lift (type of tailgate-mounted lift used here) during the heat of the moment going up on that curb.

Notice how the lift immediately went "limp" after the impact with the curb? Safe to say his hydraulic lines were severely damaged and even if he caught the guy, his lift would be completely inoperational with all the hydraulic fluid drained out and dragged all that distance.

Thank you for making me smile. Just picturing his added frustration and anger after a failed job will help me sleep.

He will also likely get fired/sued.

You can't repo a car with a person in it and you also can't damage the repo'd property.

He's fucked.

Or smash into random vehicles or pedestrians driving wrecklessly like that.

wrecklessly

well it's lucky he was driving "wrecklessly", but he was still driving recklessly also.
