Car seller reports car stolen

Purchased car from private seller. Seller requested 1000 more before he would sign over title. When I refused, he took back the vehical and hid it. Has now reported that I stole the vehical and is trying to take me to court. He says that I had the vehical when it was stolen and that I am liable. Am I going to be held responsible for the car?
