About 6 months ago, I had a 1986 Nissan longbed pickup that I crashed into a ditch, and bent the driver's side a-arms. I didn't have the money to fix it, so I asked a (at that time) friend of mine if he wanted to buy it, and we agreed on $400. He game me $100, and told me that on payday he'd give me the rest. So I (big mistake) trusted him and we both signed the title. Come payday, I asked him if he had the money, and he was like, "oh I'll have it next week" and guess what? No money. I finally gave up, and I eventually moved 30 miles away (which is where I currently am). Recently, I was at the courthouse, and come to find out, the Nissan was still in my name, even though I had signed off on the title, so I had the courthouse fill out a report of sale online so that I would no longer be responsible for it. I've been thinking about the truck more and more recently, and told my parents about my story, and they both say I should forget about it and chalk it up as a lesson well learned. A friend of mine at work says that even though it's not in my name, legally its still mine and that I can claim it was stolen. I want it back, so I can have a project truck for the summer, but I'm not sure whether I can legally get it back. So I guess the question is, is there anything that I can do (legally) to get my ol' Nissan back?
