Yes, it is stealing after a certain point. The "Certain Point" is what you want to understand. You will have to review the laws in your area, but a vehicle not returned upon a reasonable time frame from the agreed upon time of return is then missing and/or stolen. If you meet the local criteria. How about and example:

example: you let your friend borrow your car for the weekend to drive to the city. You both agree that the vehicle will be returned no later than end of day on Monday (meaning you knew where they were going and for what purpose). Monday night you call your friend and no one answers. Tuesday by noon you have not heard from your friend. Tuesday night after leaving another message you still have not heard from your friend. Then your car can be assumed to be missing with the legal definition of "stolen" in question (local laws prevail) as you initiated the entire incident by lending your vehicle.

The absolute best thing to do is if you go past 24 hours from the agreed upon time of receiving your vehicle back; call the local police non-emergency line.

If someone borrowed my car and didnt return it can I have it repossessed?

Repossession would not be the correct procedure to get your car back. You should contact the person to say you are going to call the police if the car is not returned immediately. Then do it. If they are using your car beyond the period of the loan the use is now unauthorized.
