It depends on the state and circumstances. In NJ it's normally a misdemeanor (disorderly persons or crime of the fourth degree) unless the manner in which the vehicle was used created a risk of injury or property damage. Then it is a crime of the third degree (a felony).

It sounds like Grand Larceny (Auto) to me. Could also be the lesser Charge of Unauthorized Use of a Vehicle. GLA is a Felony. UUV can be a Misdemeanor.

Auto theft is a felony.
I don't think it matters who's car it is if that person wants to press charges, it's a felony.
