As the cosigner on the contract, you are an equal owner of the vehicle. You cannot steal your own property. But, if you choose to simply go and pick up the vehicle, contact local law enforcement to let them know your intent and the reason so that when the party who currently has possession of the vehicle comes out to their empty driveway, LEOs know the vehicle was not stolen.

You might be required to get a notice or order from your local court, possibly a writ of repossession. Contact the clerk's office of your local jurisdiction and ask; they will likely be happy to help you with this info.

Your other option, if you do not want the vehicle, is to contact the finance company and discuss possible voluntary repossession. You may need to seek legal assistance to have your name removed from the contract, and be prepared to show/prove you made the payments and the other party did not.

I had this very same instance come up and the police were called. They told me that as long as the payments were being made and you have proof of you making the payments on time, the cosigner has to leg to stand on when trying to take the car. So NO your cosigner can not take the car.

Something is not right here. If you are the primary, then why is the cosigner making payments and why does the cosigner have possession of the vehicle? The is back-wards of what it should be. And why in the world would you put the cosigners name on the title? You have a mess on your hands, because you went about this all wrong. You need to contact a lawyer ASAP.
