What is the name of your state? Missouri
Long story short, I moved to MO to live with a guy. After a few months, I went on a 2 week vacation to Washington (where I now reside) to see my family and during that time, he called and broke up with me, telling me not to come back. He has
1) my keys to my car (registered in MO, btw) and the house we shared, which contains everything I own (clothes, furniture, etc)
2) all my legal papers (tax and account info, social security card, divorce papers, birth certificate, my kid's birth certificate and social security card, my car title)
3) posession of my Jeep (title is in MY name only...he is the designated POD beneficiary, however).
He has ceased all contact with my (won't return calls, letters, emails. His family has ceased all contact with me. I'm concerned that he is driving my Jeep and I'll be liable for any accidents that may incur (I had cancelled insurance coverage on it since I was no longer able to drive it). I want to give the Jeep to a friend of mine who lives in MO, but he won't return her calls so she can get the keys, vehicle and title.
Legally, what can be done to get this vehicle out of his hands? If I report it stolen, will it be towed to impound? Can my friend then get it from there? Will they (the police) also recover the keys so she can drive it out of impound? And what recourse do I have to get my other possessions back (since I do not have access to the house that contains it all)?
