Yes, there is a law in most states called, Hindering a Creditor of mortgaged property. However, it is very rarily used and can only be filed by the creditor, not the repossessor. The repossessor can not even use the threat of prosecution. Usually what will happen is the creditor will file for a Writ of Replevin where the local Sheriff will be ordered to pick up the vehicle. In the long run this will cost you more money because getting the replevin is expensive and along with the sheriff"s charges are all taxable to you. An additional thing to keep in mind, if you hide the vehicle the lender does not have to let you reinstate the loan to get the car back. Most states have specific laws calling for you to be able to retrieve the car after repossession by paying the past due payments and expenses of re-taking the vehicle but hiding it will negate these rights.
Most lenders do not want your car, it is a losing proposition for them so they will go to great lengths to keep you in the car so make the call and talk to them.

It may vary by state, but car repo (snatch and run) is against the law in Louisiana. If the repo man shows up wanting you to sign some papers, and has a cop sitting close by, don't worry. By law, if you don't sign that piece of paper, they cannot take your car. (The cop and repo guy are friends, or just got a kick back.) But it's easier to do that than go to court and end up paying the court fees also.
