An owner or a lienholder may report the theft of a vehicle, or its conversion if a crime, to the Department of Motor Vehicles, but the Department may disregard the report of a conversion unless a warrant has been issued for the arrest of a person charged with the conversion. A person who has so reported the theft or conversion of a vehicle shall forthwith after learning of its recovery report the recovery to the Department.
