No one can tell you you can't lock gates on your property. It may be a crime to evade a repo by hiding vehicle etc but they would have to prove it another way. Get an attorney if you are charged with anything or take the free one. On another note since they are trying to repossess and you can't use it, you should put it somewhere they can get at it to stop the harassment, otherwise next time you go to gas station or store, you will be walking home.

Can Repo Investigator Charge me with Felony in Ohio for not finding my vehicle?

As a repossession investigator and agent liason, I can tell you that yes, in fact, I know of several instances of felony charges being filed against an individual for hindering repossession of a vehicle. Your lawyer's response may have been motivated more by the fact that he felt confident that he could successfully prevent prosecution, but nothing will prevent the vehicle from being repossessed aside from the destruction of the vehicle. In the event the possessor of a vehicle under repossession were to destroy a vehicle to prevent that repossession, he could then be charged with malicious destruction of private property and hindering a lender.
