truTV: Not Reality. Actuality.

Sonia Pizarro

"I am from the Bronx, but was raised by my Puerto Rican parents in California. Eight years ago my brother helped me get into the repo business."

Q: What are three things you always bring to a repo?

A: A repossession order, my phone and a Slim Jim auto lockout tool.

Q: While on the job, is each repo a hassle, or does anyone ever simply let you take the car without a problem?

A: Hell no! I wish they would just hand me the key with a big smile.

Q: Describe your scariest moment on the job.

A: Froylan and I were out trying to repo a truck, but we were unaware that the drunk at the scene was actually a lookout. He started to scream that we were trying to get into the car, and the registered owner ran into the house and pulled a gun. We called the police.

Q: What was the funniest thing you ever saw on the job?

A: A woman came out of her home and called me a "fat cow" and told us that we were not taking her car. Then she plopped her big butt on the top of the hood. She must have weighed 450 pounds. The woman was so huge that she buckled her own hood...and she was calling me a "fat cow."

Q: What's the best thing about your job?

A: I can wear any type of clothes or have any kind of tattoo. I have lots of flexibility with my time. And I can be me, without limitation.
