More details to this question:
We had formed a business alliance about a year ago and chose an old gas station in Alvarado, TX as our business location. I had 2 of my automobiles (1980 customized Camaro and 1993 Corvette) sitting on my uncle's land approx. 70 miles away in Terrell, TX. Out of the blue he has a tow truck he had already hired for other purposes pick up my vehicles and had them both towed to our business location of 1211 S. Parkway Dr. Alvarado, TX and placed inside the two bays of the old gas station. He said pay him back later on the towing fees. Several months later we have a falling out and we both want to sue each other in civil court. On Friday Nov. 4th, 2013 we agreed to meet at the Alvarado locating so I can get my cars. He did not show up. I opened up shop and my Camaro is now gone. I took the Corvette and texted him that I will put out an arrest warrant for theft. He claims nothing and is trying to refer me to his lawyer. Can I report this car as stolen?

I'm a bit confused about your story. Did you ask for him to have your cars towed to the gas station? Was this something you agreed to do? If the answer to this is yes, then no, you cannot report the car stolen because you gave him permission to move your vehicles. If the answer is no, and he moved the vehicles without your consent, then yes, you can report the car stolen.
