No If something was repossessed for not making the payments, a bankruptcy will not get the property back for you. It will wipe out the debt.

The devil is always in the details...what is it that was taken? how long ago was it taken? and what was the reason or the process for taking it?

It depends on the chapter that you file, what the item was, who took it and when it was taken.

Without more information this is hard to address. Typically in a Ch 7, no you do not get repossessed property back. In a Ch 13, yes you can get the repossessed property back, if you want it. There is much more to this equation though, so visit with an attorney.
