Ray Browers bought a model train from Ace and Eyeball on credit and granted them
a security interest in the train. Ray is now 3 months behind on his payments,
as his blueberry picking business is slow. Ace and Eyeball hire Gordy and Chris
to repossess the train. When Gordy and Chris go to repossess the train they take
Chopper, their dog with them but leave him in the cab of the truck. Ray is outside
when Gordy and Chris pull up to his house. Ray starts screaming wildly when he
sees Chopper and, in a highly agitated state, orders Gordy and Chris to leave.
If Gordy and Chris continue with the repossession of the train, which statement
is correct?
A. The repossession would be legal, because Gordy and Chris themselves posed
no threat to Ray.
B. The repossession would be illegal, as continuing the attempt will constitute
a breach of the peace.
C. Even if the repossession is not legal, Ace and Eyeball would not be liable
for the acts of Gordy and Chris.
D. The repossession would be illegal, because Ace and Eyeball must attempt
to repossess the train themselves before hiring an independent contactor to
do so.
