What can a person be charged with for hiding a vehicle that has a lien on it?

Criminally nothing... Unfortunately its not a crime to not pay your bills. The lien holder can sue you in the civil court for the money that is owed to him on the vehicle that you are hiding though. If he wins then you now have a civil judgment against you on your credit report which in the long term will hurt you more than any immediate effect. If you have a job the person can garnish your wages also. You will never be able to escape a civil judgment until it is paid in full unfortunately. MY suggestion to you would be to return the car in exchange for an agreement that they don't come after you legally.

In most states the person who repairs a vehicle has an artisan's lien. An artisan's lien is a possessory lien meaning that a) no recording of any document is required to obtain the lien, however b) the lien is only good while it is in your possession. If you return the vehicle to the owner you have lost your lien. If the owner takes the vehicle without your consent, your lien is not defeated, however, in most states the act of taking the vehicle from you will be considered theft by the vehicle owner.

What happens when you file a lien release on car if others have a lien against you?
Your question makes no sense. There is no lien on you but only on your vehicle. You do not file a lien release unless you have a "release of lien" issued by the financial institution which you borrowed money from against that vehicle. If there is a second lien "mechanics lien, tax lien, etc." that lien now becomes primary. Another person cannot take possession and or register the vehicle in their name until any and all liens have been satisfied. 19 years experience in the car biz.
Who owns the vehicle you or the lien holder?
Well, you own the vehicle subject to the lien. You cannot sell or refinance the vehicle until the lien holder is paid. If you don't pay the lien, the lien holder can repossess the vehicle. So you own it subject to your paying the loan.
