Final Answer : False, Explanation :  In most states, repossessing property without the owner's consent, especially entering a private residence without permission, is considered a breach of peace and is illegal. The bank would typically need to obtain a court order to repossess the item if it cannot be done with the owner's consent or without causing a disturbance.
