Synopsis: Every 3rd Wednesday of the month, The Straits Times examines not just vehicle prices but wider transport issues and trends connected to public and private transport.
What happens when a hire-purchase car goes missing or when a marriage turns sour and the fighting parties want their assets back? They call on repossessors like Mr Jim Koh, who has been in the repossession-cum-towing trade for nearly 20 years.

14:41 Job hazards of being run over or pelted with eggs
21:54 When Jim is compassionate when repossessing vehicles
27:39 Advice for those looking to join the trade
