Legal Question in Criminal Law in Ohio

Theft by deception

If a retail customer comes into an auto dealership to purchase a vehicle, and the dealership carries the customer in house (with a lien placed on the title), and some time down the road, the customer quits paying for the vehicle, and can not produce the vehicle for repossession, the dealership then has the title put back into the dealership name, is it possible to file a theft by deception charge against that person?
