Legal Question in Traffic Law in New Jersey

Hello,
I appreciate the help. I sold my car a month ago to a guy from new york. He bought it, paid for it, we signed a bill of sale and title and he took them. He said he would be back to get the car once he got it registered at the NY dmv and got plates and stuff so he could drive it. I saw no problem with that so i said fine i can leave the car parked here for a few more days until you come back. Now he hasnt come back, he doesnt answer my calls or text messages. The police says im still liable for the car since i left it parked on the street and i got a ticket for it. I had returned the plates and told the dmv i sold the car but still get ticketed for it :( what should i do? Thank you so much.
