when me and my ex were still together he bought me a car while i was pregnant just before my son was born. the car got registered in my name and when we split i bought the car off of him. but he went back to jail before he could do up a receipt for me and now after 5 months he has taken the car and car key back. what do i do?

See if the police will escort you to pick up the car.

If that doesn't work and the car is worth the cost, get another key and take the car, then change the lock.

the car is registered in your name?
Tell the cops that he got out of jail and stole it. Tell them that this is dv.
