    Report the car as stolen
    I don't respond to stupid so that's why I am ignoring you.

    Don't do the above just yet. Tell them you're going to report it stolen if it's not back by the end of the day and in the state you expect it to be in.

    And if you get nowhere, THEN report it stolen.

    Also if it's got a bunch more miles in it IE they've obviously been using it for their own purposes... discuss accordingly ...

    Just come across this post and wondering what was the outcome.
    Did you get it back? Did it become a police matter? Maybe the insurance company could have shown an interest.
