The Ricker used to be a repo man.

The Ricker seems like your usual, crazy sales manager, and basically, that's what he's been his entire life. However, he has told me some interesting stories about a few of his odd college jobs. One that stands out is his experience as a repo man. Yes, according to the Ricker, he spent some time repossessing cars.

I cannot imagine the Ricker doing anything physical, with the exception of gardening and shoveling snow. Yet for a period of time, he repossessed cars. He carried around a bunch of keys and stole cars at night. Apparently, there were only a limited number of keys for each make of car: Ford had 10 or so; GM had more than 30.

He waited until people fell asleep and started their car in the driveway. He broke into garages through back doors or windows. He didn't carry a gun, but I think he carried a baseball bat a few times. He had to drive through someone's garage door to escape.

Of course, none of this has been verified by any independent witnesses. But I like to think about the Ricker actually getting paid to steal, since he has a history of "sticky fingers."
