If it was his car also - i.e. his being on the title, then there is no "theft." That stated, if he was not on the title, this shoudl be reported to law enforcement where he should be arrested for theft. The bigger issue is why would you have a car towed to a dealer for maintenance crammed with all that stuff in the first place? There is much more to this than related and that may impact y our ability to retain a lawyer to pursue this issue, starting with how the EX knew where the vehicle was to pick it up to start start with. Otherwise, you will simply need to plan on spending some money to hire a lawyer to address these issues and possibly file a replevin lawsuit.
