In many states yes they do. it was used in the commission of a drug crime. They can seize it and it doesn't matter whose name it was in. It would have been different if your husband had reported it stolen and then it was found that it was used in crimes. Also, parents are responsible for their children until they turn 18. Your daughter screwed up and the shame of it is that you will be paying for it.
