Location: (oh) Loaned A Car To Somebody, They Are Refusing To Return It

Card image cap

Location: OH. This has been ongoing for months now. I had originally loaned my car out to a person for what was always understood to be a temporary amount of time (~1 month). During that time they also managed to damage it and never repaired anything. After that it seemed to be one story after another as to why they could not return it, but now they're getting rather belligerent and refusing to return the vehicle, telling me things like, "Come get it."

They live about 2 hours away, so it's not as easy as me just popping on over to go get it back. Is this something that I can report the car as stolen over? In my mind, I've given months of notifications that I want my car back and they are not making any serious effort to return it to me. They no longer have my consent to have my car and I've given them a "reasonable" amount of time to either bring it back or make arrangements to bring it back.

I honestly don't want to involve police in this, but I'm not sure how else to resolve this.
