Lent a car and cannot get it back as person disappeared

File a missing persons report for the son.

Very odd if he totally disappeared and not in contact with anyone, yet the biggest concern seems to be for the car.

That was my reaction, but OP says that the son changed phone number and address. How do they know that?

Ring the number = dead tone or network have given it to someone else

Address = presumably lives somewhere they could visit - go there and no-one there

Filing a missing persons report for the (presumably adult) son is futile. The police will not be remotely interested unless there is some evidence of foul play. Hundreds of adults go 'missing' every day, of their own volition.
It's theft, pure and simple, so report it as such.
The only odd part of this is why the OP's partner did not received DVLA notification of the change of RK? Was the address up to date?

As an individual, you can request information about a vehicle's registered keeper from DVLA (using form V888) if you have 'reasonable cause', examples of which include finding out who was responsible for an accident or tracing the owner of an abandoned vehicle.

Sure but that wasn't the question, I was giving examples of how someone would know the person had changed address and phone number
