We were stopped at a stoplight a few blocks from our place, when suddenly a weird pickup tow truck like thing on the opposite side pulled out into the opposing lane from behind, and moved up beside the car second from the front. The passenger of said truck jumped out, attempted to yank open the other car's driver door (which was locked), and then jumped out of the way as this pickup truck with a forklift type prong on the front moved perpendicular to the car and tried to wedge it under. The car floored it and screeched around the other stopped cars, over the curb, and managed to drive away.
Tinted windows, no plates, nothing I could see except a couple of young dudes with touques in the truck. So freaky. It's true what they say that when a crime or something dramatic like that happens right in front of you, it seems to happen in a split second...
*locks car door*
But a forklift?? Geez. Seems a little elaborate...

Repo?
Sheesh. Either you saw some kickass repo work or the chop shop runners are playing at a whole new level.
