How do I know if my car was repossessed?

I woke up this morning to find that my Mercedes was no longer parked in my driveway. I know I’ve missed quite a few payments on it, but I’m not sure if it was stolen or just repossessed because it was taken without notice. How do I find out?

“I’m sorry to hear about your Mercedes; I’m sure waking up to a missing car is an extremely stressful experience.
To find out if your car is repossessed, the first thing you should do is call your lender. Alternatively, you can call your local law enforcement agency, since they are often notified in instances like this.
