In Maryland is it a criminal offense to refuse to tell creditors where your car is?
Yes, it is a crime to "convert" someone's else's property to your own use. You may have purchased the vehicle under a 'civil law' contract, but the minute you knowingly attempt to deprive him of his property, you have crossed over into a criminal act. If you still owe money to your creditor then you do not 'own' the car, you are merely "in possession" of it with his permission (for as long as you pay him the money you owe him - sort of like 'renting' it but different.) If you breach the payment contract the owner of the car has every right to seize his property, and if you conceal its location it is proof of your intent to deprive him of it.
