Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Louisiana

Are verbal agreements legal in Louisiana when many parties know of the agreement. My son and I gave a so called friend $2000 for a truck and my son was to make the truck notes and insurance payments to him. The so called friend got mad at me and took the truck back, are we entitled to get the $2000 back
