Stealing money

Theft is committed at the time you take the money.  Whether you pay it back or not, that doesnt change the fact that it is a theft.  Pay it back and hope he doesn't report you to the police. If he does and you are charged with a crime, hire a lawyer.  Good luck.

Does he have grounds to contest the search as illegal if officer said they were looking for an insurance card?

If the car was going to be towed, then the officer could search it before it was towed because that is policy - to help protect against theft (and against allegations against the police that they stole.)? He needs to discuss this with his lawyer.
