Only if the car was actually stolen. Nonpayment isn't theft (a criminal matter), it's a civil matter.
Absolutely, if their car is not returned when stated in the rental agreement, the car is and will be reported stolen.
Yes, they can. They can't finance you car if your car is a stolen car. When you put your car from a finance company, make sure that your car isn't stolen and bought it in a big car company.
No
If it is really stolen by someone and not simply in possession of the lendee. The owner of the vehicle is the only one who can report a vehicle stolen, not the lender. But if the car is taken to the tow companys and yard and is now "missing" then the tow company can report the missing car since they had it in their possession. The first place the police will come to though is your house. The police will not come to your house it is a civil matter.The tow company cannot report the vehicle stolen it is not their vehicle to report stolen.
No! If this is a threat by the finance company contact a attorney. He/She will advise you what you need to do.
You should report the theft immediately to the police and to the car owner's insurance company.
i would report it stolen. if the payments are made the loan company can and probably will come after you for the money. If you report it stolen to the cops you can at least report it to the insurance company and the loan company and that should remove your responsibility.
You are committing a crime if you knew the car not to be stolen.
Call the cops. File a report. Call your insurance company.
This is going to be expensive! If the car is crashed or stolen and an insurance company is going to deal with this then they will have to pay the costs. If the lease is up and the car can not be returned to the leasing company the lessor will need to pay for either the extra time or the whole car.
it is if you report it to the police as stolen
Yes. If a customer refuses to return a rental car, the company may report it as stolen. The police will come looking for it (and you), and you may be charged with grand theft auto. The company will consider this an extreme step, and they will try to negotiate with you before doing this because it's a huge hassle for the company.
