Re: Ex-Girl friend has my car.

Send her a Certified and Regular mail request for return of your vehicle, by a date certain. Thank her for her cooperation, in advance, in order to avoid further unpleasantness.

At the end of the period for return, go to your precinct to ask for assistance getting your auto returned. Follow their instructions. You should be prepared to present your proofs of ownership, etc., and your peaceful attempts to obtain return of your auto.

Good luck,
