It sounds like under the LA Community Property regime you both could be "owners" of the truck. However, before you just "go and take it" I'd recommend you check with a lawyer in order to properly settle your community property. You wouldn't want any criminal charges pressed on you due to a misunderstanding.
If you'd like to contact me for a communtiy property settlement you can email me at [email protected].

Do not take it! File a partition petition to divide the community.
