Can you go to jail if junk a car with lean on it?

It is possible to go to jail if you junk a car with a lien on it. This is because junking a car with a lien is considered to be theft. When you have a lien on your car, the lender still owns it, and you do not have the right to sell or junk it. If you do so, you could be charged with theft, which is a crime that can result in jail time.

In addition to the possibility of jail time, you could also be ordered to pay damages to the lender. This could include the amount of the loan that you still owe, as well as any costs that the lender incurs in recovering the car or selling it at auction.

If you are considering junking a car with a lien on it, it is important to talk to an attorney first. An attorney can help you understand your rights and options, and can represent you if you are charged with theft.
