Legal Question in Criminal Law in Illinois

stolen motorcycle and 2karot ring

My ex boyfriend did not have good credit and so he said that if I helped him out by getting a loan to purchase a motorcycle he wanted he would just make the payments every month . So I got a loan out Primarily in my name for a motorcycle for him. I put him on as secondary so he could have his name on the title too once it was paid off. We ended the relationship and he still had the bike. I have been making all payments 2 money order and the rest from my checking account. He is refusing to give the bike back and refusing to make payments. Since the loan is in my name as Primary the bank said i can refinance it in just my name I want to do this however I do not have the bike and I have no idea where it is. I need it back to ensure i can refinance and then have someone purchase it from me. He also took one of my rings that i have proff of purchase with that was apoximatley $2000. It is a yellow canary diamond ring. I believe about 2karots. I have his phone number and his current address. He has 3 outstanding felony cases currently. I neeed help asap

Answer depends.

Who is in the title now? If it is just you, report the bike as stolen.

Also, you can report the ring as stolen. Then the police can help you get the property returned.

If you are both on the title, stop paying on the bike and have the bank repo it for you.

Alternative would be to sue him for return of the property, but that would be expensive and it might not get you everything you want.
