The Man Came And Took It Away

The first true story of life inside the repossession field!

One of the most electrifying and significant documents ever written about the repossession field, THE MAN CAME AND TOOK IT AWAY! is the authentic story of this controversial profession as seen through the eyes of the dynamic man who owned the worlds largest agency. Bill Bowser, who spent 46 years battling drug pushers, hard-core criminals, sexual deviates, police harassment, deadbeats and even the Mafia, now has disclosed with horrific clarity the dangerous, intriguing, challenging, baffling and outrageous situations which the repossessor meets in an average days work. He has repossessed everything from hearing aids on deceased persons, to airliners, and everything in between, including cars, trucks, tractors, pigs, dogs, boats, wooden legs, buildings, tombstones and stallions.

Bowser, probably is the most dedicated man ever to enter this field, was determined to get every job done, regardless of personal danger. While performing what perhaps is the most hush-hush, but very necessary, task involved in the preservation of the financial structure of the U.S., death was his ever-present companion. Bowser has been pistol-whipped, shot at, run off the highway at high speeds and burned out, but never was topped, not even for a day.

Told in dispassionate detail for the very first time, as only an insider can tell it, The Man Came And Took It Away! is a definitive, thoroughly documented portrait of the repossession business and this iron-willed man who refused to be defeated, who scorned taboos and molded the harum-scarum operations of his predecessors into a respected profession. Like the never-before-envisioned empire which he created, Bill Bowser-seasoned knowledgeable repo man was the epitome in his field!

Bowser's repossession bureau handled accounts for banks and finance companies across the entire nation. The flamboyant equipment used was the most ingenious and efficient ever devised. He cut up new Cadillac automobiles and made tow trucks out of them, bringing publicity that could not have been brought for thousands of dollars. This innovative creation promoted business, but spawned a problem: everyone knew what to expect when the Cadillac trucks pulled up in front of their house. He maintained fleets of vehicles on city streets and highways 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and when any man got into trouble, trucks flew in from every direction.

Completely submerged in applying the arts and sciences of the repossession profession, many of which were his own skillful improvisations, Bowser observed an 18-hour-a-day schedule. Only upon retirement was he able to relate the fascinating true sores and strange experiences of his meteoric career objectively and with a frank, startling integrity.

Buy the book The Man Came and Took it Away and explore in depth how Bill Bowser was able to accomplish all these things, and be able to live to tell about it.

You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll gasp!

All in all, you will be truely inspired!
