How I Became a Repo Man for a Day
In summer 2024, I became a repo man for a day—legally reclaiming a vehicle without confrontation. In this talk, I share how I approached it like a capture-the-flag challenge: planning, intel gathering, analysis, and execution. I cover legal recovery, avoiding counterattacks, and lessons on personal security my adversary could have used to stop me.
