Can the Leon holder report the car stolen? The car broke down on the interstate and was left on the side of the road and now cannot be found. Can they report it stolen and have me arrested?

Assuming that you are the registered owner, have you reported it as stolen???I don't know what else to do, I have called the state police but they have no information on the car?
You did all this, yet you didn't contact the police? Really?No I canceled the insurance on the car as it was broke down on the interstate and can not locate it and I canceled the tags as well.
Why? It's not their car. YOU have to get it fixed.I'm not defrauding the lender we have had nothing but problems with the car and kept trying to get them to fix it...
A reasonable person would have (a) removed the vehicle from the interstate (tow trucks have a pretty good track record with that type of thing) and (2) reported the disappearance of the vehicle to the police.... and it broke down on the interstate and now it can't be found ...
Once the lender finds out, you may, in fact, end up paying insurance on a car that you don't have possession of and at a much higher rate.... and I'm not paying insurance on a vehicle I don't have possession of!

No not yet

Right - and the OP would know if he had reported the vehicle missing/stolen promptly instead of just leaving it sit on the side of the road because he had a beef with the lender.I'll bet you a dollar that the car is in an impound lot somewhere.

And guess who gets to pay for it to be released? That's right, boys & girls - @Jaimec1220. I believe proof of insurance will be required, as well. If they refuse to do so? Well, there's a different kettle of fish. The impound lot/tow truck company WILL get their money, and so will the lienholder. And @Jaimec1220 will end up with empty pockets and no car.As @zddoodah pointed out, the car is almost definitely in an impound lot somewhere, and I'm sure that the OP knows it.

One word: Buy Here/Pay Here.Specifically, the finance contract is almost always with someone OTHER than the guy who sold you the car. You're not doing anything to the guy who sold you the lemon by not paying, you're screwing the bank which will come back on you and likely end up with a collection/lawsuit and certainly a trashed credit record.
