Can a lien holder report the car stolen for being behind in payments?

Of course not. The car has not been stolen. But guess who is going to have to make the payments if the primary lender does not. You the cosigner, that's who. I would suggest you talk to the person you cosigned the loan for. If I were going to have to make the payments I would for sure try to gain possession of the vehicle. This is the very reason cosigning is a bad idea.

Can you be charged with a stolen truck if you get behind on payments?
If they come to repossess it, and you claim to not know where it is, then the repossession agent will report it stolen. At that point, anyone found in possession of it is in possession of a stolen vehicle.

No. Contracts and not making payments is a matter for the CIVIL courts. Your car has not actually been stolen so no CRIMINAL offence has been committed and if you report it as stolen when you know it isn't, you will actually be committing a crime yourself.

So, if I'm getting this right, the car is yours..pink slip and all. You call the police and report it stolen. Document all of the times you have tried to get it back, and have dates and times.

That will depend on your state laws. I have seen such an agreement here in Massachusetts, but I believe it is illegal and is an unfair act or practice in trade or commerce prohibited in most states and definitely in MA.
Can a lien holder report a vehicle stolen?
not really sure on this one but in order for the lien holder to have the vehicle in his/her posssision it had to be repossesed... and then it was stolen while it was in their possession then i would say yes.. but other wise cant really see a reason why the owner would not be the person that reports it to be stolen..... if in fact the car owner is deleinquent in payment and the car is reported stolen and the car owner goes to jail that is false imprisonment and you can sue..
