Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Greetings.
Background:
Im living in florida.
I lonaed someone some money, and they gave me their car to look after. Iv had the car in my posetion for aprox 5 years. It has not been registered or licenced in that time. I was never given the Title however, and since it was a friendly thing I didnt write any kind of recipt. Iv tried to contact the previouse owner.
I now wish to use the vehilce, but without a title I can do nothing.
I approached the DMV and they have dispatched a notice to the owner of the vehicle to the address they have on file.
But If I dont hear from them, I have to take the next step.
Im advised to go to the court and get them to award me ownership of the vehicle (or to award me the title of the vehicle)
How would I word and format the request?. I would turn it into the clerk of courts correct?
What information would I need to include?

You have no right to own the vehicle. It is not yours.
