Can a wife report a car stolen if the husband loaned it to his child but is hospitalized and not able to speak?

If the car is in her name and the husband took it without permission yes, you can report it but do you want the husband to have a record with the police, unless the couple lives apart and he is being annoying!
Added: Once law enforcement learns that this is a lawfully married (or even common-law) husband/wife situation it is very likely that they will decline to accept the report as a violation of criminal law.
It clearly involves a dispute between the two parties over their mutually owned possession, and is entirely a civil matter.
AND, yes, this applies even in cases where the ownershp is solely in the name of the 'aggrieved' spouse.

If the wife took "his" car, it wouldn't be stealing because she shares ownership, even if its in his name. This does, however, vary somewhat from state to state. Another answer: Yes and no. Yes, because if you leave him and take his car that basically is stealing. and you would be in trouble. No, because if you stayed married it wouldn't be stealing.

∙ 12y agono, California is a 'community property state' and in being so, as long as the vehicle was purchsed, title transfered and registered during the course of the legal, binded, licensed marriage, by either 1 , the other or both spouses, before divorce papers filed and served, can not report anything as stolen by spouse unless previously court ordered by a licensed, sworn judge.

∙ 13y agoNo, as long as the child can prove the parent was able to, and did, loan the car. The wife would be lying to cause the false prosecution of the child to whom the car was loaned and she would have filed a false police report. However, unless the permission is in writing the child should stop using the car until the parent is able to confirm that permission was given and continued use is permitted.
Another View: On the other hand, a spouse CAN file a report for the theft of marital property, if they knew or believed it to actually be stolen.
However, if they knew at the time they made the report that the vehicle was in the possession of the child, yet maliciously filed the report anyway, they could be liable for prosecution for filing a False Police Report.

If your car is in repossession and the repo man never finds it will the bank or dealership eventually report it stolen?
Why would they report it stolen?? IF it was stolen from you, then YOU would report it stolen. The lender loaned MONEY so they will recover money(garnishment, leins, ect.) if the collateral disappears. They will eventually find where you are working and you will pay for not only the car but court fees. Do yourself a favor and give the car up it's not yours.

Can you report a car stolen if the person you loaned the vehicle to fails to return it?
it wouldn't be reported as a "stolen" vehicle unless they signed an agreement stating when they would return it. At most, it would be unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. Best thing to do would be to send a certified, return receipt, restricted delivery letter to the person stating they have so many days to return it or it will be considered stolen. Also put in the letter that acceptance of the letter constitutes their agreement. Yes you can report your car stolen but only if you said return it by a certain time. If you failed to give a time period, then you cannot report it as stolen.
If you loan your car and it is not returned is it stolen?

No. But if you get your money stolen and you don't file a police report, you won't get your money back. If you get your car stolen and you don't file a police report, you won't get your car back. If you get your jewelry or furniture stolen and you don't file a police report, you won't get your jewelry or furniture back. If you get your car stolen and you don't file a police report, you won't get your car back. If you get your bike stolen and you don't file a police report, you won't get your bike back. The point is if you get something stolen and you don't file a police report, you won't get your stuff back. But they're not allowed to put you in jail for refusal to report a stolen car, bike, jewelry, money etc. You won't go to jail for refusal to report a stolen object, but whatever you got stolen, you won't get it back.
