While the repossession industry enjoys a long-awaited increase in recovery volume, the long-standing issue of free storage is making the risks grow exponentially. As the number of cars taken into storage blossoms, so do the risks of theft, violence and acts of God, and with no compensation for storage, it only takes one incident to force an agency to close its doors.
