not really sure on this one but in order for the lien holder to have the vehicle in his/her posssision it had to be repossesed... and then it was stolen while it was in their possession then i would say yes.. but other wise cant really see a reason why the owner would not be the person that reports it to be stolen..... if in fact the car owner is deleinquent in payment and the car is reported stolen and the car owner goes to jail that is false imprisonment and you can sue..

Well, you own the vehicle subject to the lien. You cannot sell or refinance the vehicle until the lien holder is paid. If you don't pay the lien, the lien holder can repossess the vehicle. So you own it subject to your paying the loan.

No a lien holder can not file a claim against the insurance company as they are not the named insured, you are. Although if there is a lien on the vehicle the insurance payment for damages to your vehicle will be in your name and the lien holder name. They then might require that you fix the vehicle so they can protect their interest in the vehicle. each lien holder is different. CORRECTION: If the lien holder is named on the policy and the vehicle has been repossessed, the lienholder has a right to recovery under that policy.

If you have a lien on your vehicle, you can sell it for any amount. The vehicle is still subject to the lien which means that the purchaser can lose the vehicle if the lien holder collects on it.
Will an impounded vehicle be turned to the lien holder?
Not unless the lien holder goes and retrieves it from impound themselves. The reimbursement of government fees (federal, state, or municipal) outweighs the priorities of the lienholder. When a vehicle goes into impound, the agency which impounded the vehicle puts their own lien on it, and that lien takes priority over the original lien. If the vehicle is not retrieved from impound, it will be auctioned off, and the lien holder basically gets shafted in the process. The person who took the lien out on the vehicle will owe the remaining balance still, and one of the money the agency auctioning the vehicle makes will go towards reducing the amount owed to the lien holder. To that end, you're better to let the lien holder repossess the vehicle and auction it, rather than have it impounded.

How do you locate a lien holder?
The lien holder is a person or business who have a concerned interest in a vehicle. Most times a bank or finanacial institution. You need to find the lien holder which is located on the title or can be found be contacting your DMV and giving the VIN and then finding their phone number, I would try calling information. Contact the lien holder and ask if the lien is still on the vehicle or what you need to do about having the lien removed. Sometimes a lien can still be on a vehicle even though it has been paid off, if the owner did not apply for a new title to clear the lien.
Can a lien holder repo a vehicle for no reason?
Not normally ... there must be some reason for this action on the part of the lien holder. If just one payment is missed, or just one day late, the lien holder could claim 'breach of contract' and demand return of the vehicle. I would be asking a high ranking official of this lien holder this very question ...
