This is not a repossession situation, so it is not obvious that the law is the same as it is with repossession.

Isn’t it literally repossessed when you steal back your car.

Not in the sense nwiswell is using the term, where the issue is the legal obligations that surround the case of repossession in response to loan default. Context matters.

Even more to the point, driving your own car is not stealing it, either.
