You might have a shot at theft but this seems to fit well under Fraudulent Transfer of a Motor Vehicle (See Penal Code Sec. 32.34). If you would like to pursue criminal charges, I would suggest contacting your local police department. If they dont want to get involved, contact the district attorney's office directly.
