Just call the police and explain the situation. Have them come with him to repo it so there aren't any problems. the person MUST turn over the keys.
He can't get any money back because the car was in his possession while making those payments.
This is on court shows every week.
as Ted said, the police can't do any legal action, but they can accompany you to keep the peace.

About 20 years ago in Texas, I loaned my wifes car to a friend for a week. He never brought it back, then said he no longer had it, it was out of state. Called the police and they said if you gave him the keys, it is a civil case, there was nothing they could do, it was not stolen. I called my exfriend and told him I would give him 5 days and I would be over to break every bone in his body, starting with his jaw. It showed up at my house in the middle of the night on the fourth day, minus radio with different wheels and tires. Never saw him again. Good luck on your repo.

Just go get it. Bring a few big dogs and take it back. If he gives your friend any lip, bust it. Tell him I said so.

Police will not do **** in these circumstances!!! Trust me, been there. Have your buddy get someone else to steal it back, that way he has an aliby. Also move the car far away and put it on someone elses property until things cool down. Even though he is in the right and has the title, things can get complicated. Be prepared for that guy to try to get revenge.

oh thats real good, everything is here say with no paperwork to back it up, that will be a fun day with a pissed off judge.
go to the cops, tell them you already tried to get your car back, things expolded real fast so you left.
first thing the cops will do is run the person to see if any warrents our out on him, then they will go with you to get your car.
personaly, if i had a spare key, i would just walk over and drive it back home.

well he called the police to get a escort, they said it is a civil case eventhough no paperwork was filled out. so now the guy has 10 days to pay my friend the rest of the money or give back the car, then if he does not my friend has to pay $95 bucks to file a lawsuit then it gets taken to court for them to decide. pretty shitty if you ask me
