In the state of Tennessee, under Tennessee 39-14-116, or Hindering A Secured Creditor, hiding property from a secured creditor (the dealer, bank, or other financial institution through which the property is financed and ultimately the repossession agent) is listed as a Class E felony.
The bill states that anyone who "commits an offense who, with intent to hinder enforcement of that interest or lien, destroys, removes, conceals, encumbers, transfers, or otherwise harms or reduces the value of the property" is in violation and could have charges brought up against them by the lienholder.
In other words, you cannot legally hide, disable, or otherwise damage the property.
If charges are pressed and you are found guilty, you could be looking at a 1-6 year prison term or up to a $3,000 fine.
