Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

Recovering My Property

My Dad passes away and had no will. I am the sole heir to his assets which is virtually nothing. A cousin of my dad's is owed money and is holding my dad's truck and won't tell me where it is. I bought the truck from the bank and it is registered to me, yet he refuses to tell me where it is. We went to small claims court today and the judge feels that it wasn't the proper court for the matter. She says it should go to probate court, but isn't that for large estates with large sums of money involved? This is only a truck that I rightfully own, and paid the bank for, please help!
