I think this varies by state, but I know for fact in WI (because I live here) that anytime you put your vehicle on a privately owned lot for sale or repair it technically (and temporally) is the property of the proprietor. For example if you leave your vehicle at a shop for repair and decide that you aren't happy with them you cannot remove the vehicle unless they release it to you even if they did no work and you owe them nothing. If you attempt to remove it from their property you can actually be cited for it. Granted this doesn't happen a lot, most cops will stand there while the two parties work it out. When all is said and done any litigation is just a waste of everyone's time and money.
I am aware of at least two situations where the shops went out of business while customers cars were locked inside. Those customers had to file claims to get their vehicles back.
It sucks but that's just the way it is here.

Obviously read the contract but this sounds like an old wive's tale used to scare people away from consignment places.

At one time I lived in Madison, Wisconsin. I witnessed a consignment business declare bankruptcy, lock the gates, and all the vehicles on consignment instantly became the property of all the lien holders on the business. It didn't matter that the owner had the title, because in the agreement, you actually sign the rights to the vehicle over to them. It wasn't an RV business, and I'm sure there are many fine company's that do it, but be careful. I recall there we're over 30 Corvettes and an equal number of other vehicles lost. It really made an impression on me.
