Theft by deception = buying a car with a bogus check, or selling a car that had phony title and they were aware it was phony, Or If someone sold a Dog that was someone elses that they were watching or If someone was representing they owned an apartment that really they were renting and then sold it. This is theft by deception. P.S. Hiding a car that you purchased on a contact because you didnt or couldn't make the payments on, is not theft because you could be hiding it from thieves or your kids or? ask your attourney

Yes, it could be considered "theft by deception". When the lenders go to court to start reposession they have taken ownership of the vehicle. At that point you no longer have rights to the vehicle and if the lender claims that you are deliberately hiding the vehicle they could have a good argument for the theft by deception.

If you bought a car and the seller lost the title and you can't contact the seller how can you get the title to your car?

Yo do not own the car if you no not have a title. Who ever is on the title owns the car. You will have to go to court file a small claim . I hope you have a bill of sale and a reciept for you payment. Otherwise you are screwed. also file a theft by deception case with the county courthouse. if you have proof you purchased said car he will be sitting in lockup until you get your title or refund
