Bill of sales for a car is more inportant that a car title?
I wrote out a bill of sales for my car to my now ex-girlfriend was my girlfriend at the time as I was selling it to her for 500 dollars after I wrote the bill of sales she went behind my back and got a temperary tag for the vehicle didnt get it registered yet.She never paid me the 500 dollars but she has the bill of sales.I called the cops and they said she is the sole owner now of the car because she still had the bill of sales even though the title and registration is still under my name?That doest sound right,he just told me to bring it to court and its not his problem.What is my rights?

You shouldn’t have given her the documentation to allow her to register the car before having received full payment. If she didn’t pay for the car, then you’ll have to take her to small claims court. It certainly doesn’t sound like theft.
