Answer
Here in Florida, you can move a car blocking the target vehicle. However, the repo agent assumes responsibility for any damage to the vehicle that was moved. Keep in mind that this is what tow trucks are for and we also have other means of moving cars.
Answer
Steve, here in texas they have a penal code 32.33 which states, Warning: It is a violation of the state law to destroy, remove, conceal, encumber, or othervise harm or reduce the value of secured property (your vehicle)with intent t hinder enforcement of a lien. (the contract you sign when you perchased the vehicle) If your sister was not going to move her vehicle she was in violation of this law (in texas it is a felony of the third degree). If the repo guy sees the vehicle on your property he has all rights to get it. Look at the contract you signed, you gave the bank has the right to come on your property and retrieve their secured property.

Answer
In NJ, they CANNOT touch/move any other vehicle.
Answer
Per the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) a recovery agent can move a vehicle out of the way to get the target vehicle if: 1) He does no damage to it 2) He puts it back where he moved it from 3) He does not take that vehicle.
Individual states may have specific laws regarding that so you may want to contact your state department of public safety (highway patrol, troopers, etc.) some munincipalities may have specific laws concerning it. Just call the agency that would have jurisdiction over it. If the recovery agent takes (not simply moving it) the non-target vehicle then it turns into what they refer to as conversion.
