If it is really stolen by someone and not simply in possession of the lendee. The owner of the vehicle is the only one who can report a vehicle stolen, not the lender. But if the car is taken to the tow companys and yard and is now "missing" then the tow company can report the missing car since they had it in their possession. The first place the police will come to though is your house. The police will not come to your house it is a civil matter.The tow company cannot report the vehicle stolen it is not their vehicle to report stolen.

My finance company called me when I first defaulted and said they were going to report the car stolen. I recorded it and had them charged with Breach of Peace.
Repo people are scum and will say anything to get information out of you. Don't talk to them, don't trust them, and be smart. Never for a second assume that they are stupid.
They know how to do their jobs for the most part.
With any situation, know what you CAN and CAN'T do and know what THEY CAN and CAN'T do.
If you arm yourself with information you stop a sleazy repo man dead in his tracks who is trying to tell you that your going to jail for GTA.
== == If the courts have determined that the vehicle is to be repossessed and the FORMER owner keeps the vehicle away from the agent of the lending institution, yes, it is a form of theft and the lender is certainly within their right to claim that their vehicle is stolen. Once the repo papers have been signed by the judge, you no longer have claim to the vehicle. *
No. The lender can request an court order under the misappropriation of property or whichever state statute applies. A lender cannot file a stolen vehicle (grand theft auto charge) report in the traditional sense.
