If he's on the title (you don't say if you are also on the title) he has a right to the car. If you are on the title, you might get some help from the police in finding the car, but he has not committed any wrongdoing legally.

If he is on title then you will have to show that your rights are superior to his rights.

Are you on the title? If not, I don't know anything you can do to get it. He legally owns it. If you are on the title, I suppose you could sue him for half the value, but he is co-owner in that case and has as much right to possession as you.

If his name is on the title, he is as much an owner as you are.

You will probably need an attorney. In the law if both are on the title each has equal rights.
