REPO MAN? Comes to Riverdale

  In a police looking undercover Chevy Impala complete with flashing lights, it appears that the REPO MAN visited Riverdale this afternoon. That is a car hauler that is used to transport cars from one place to another. This car hauler was spotted on West 235th Street unable to make a turn onto the service road of the Henry Hudson Parkway. Of the two cars on the transporter the one on the back is a Lexus SUV that you would see on the streets of Riverdale, that is unless it was repossessed.  I asked the man and woman who were with the driver of the transporter if they were police officers and the answer was no. I later went to the 50th Police Precinct to see if the car was a NYPD vehicle, and the pair were officers. The answer I got was that the car was that the car was not a NYPD vehicle, and the pair in the photos I showed are not police officers. The conclusion was that the pair were part of either the City Marshal, Sheriffs Department, or indeed a repo operation.

Left - The truck was backed down from the Parkway 4 blocks to Oxford Avenue not allowing traffic to go through on West 235th Street for almost an hour.
Right - The truck is able to turn onto Johnson Avenue then onto West 236th Street to get to Riverdale Avenue.

Watch out if you did not pay your car bill this month, it looks like the REPO MAN is in town.
