Ok so here's the situation. My best friend from barbados living/working here after being done with college had a 98 honda civic 4 door ex that he owned. While living with his girlfriend his license got suspended due to some unpaid speeding tickets and after getting it renewed his insurance went up a bit. So basically he put the car in his girlfriends name and such to save on insurance. This was all fine until they had a bad break up. Now she moved to NY he moved back to barbados and the car's basically sitting here fully functional and wasting away. He was going to give it to me to sell/or buy from him and send him the money but guess what? She has the title and is basically refusing to give it up for spite. It's parked up in his aunts yard for the time being but the tags will be up in FEB at which time someone will tow it or they'll junk/abandon it. So technically it's abandoned right now. Is there anything legally I can do to get ownership of this vehicle?
