So screw the person/people she may kill, the important part was that YOU not be held financially responsible for their deaths/injuries? Why are you giving a car to a dangerous driver? Hopefully she has already traded the car to a non-reckless-driving dope dealer and neither of you will ever see it again. ---

If you really want the car back, hire a Private Investigator to track her down. Then, get a Kelly Blue Book, find the value for it, offer it to your ex DIL, maybe with a bag of Marijuana to her boyfriend into it to sweeten the deal. I don’t see any other way. Oh, and, I think it’s already wrecked, or sold. Now, I don’t really think that you understand that you played the fool across the board here. I think that you think that you did the right thing. Do you think that when you sign a car over to a convicted felon (or anybody, for that matter) that the car still belongs to you? Well, it doesn’t. Do you think that lending a car to a terrible driver is a great idea? Well, it isn’t. Do you think that an agreement with a drug addict carries any weight with a drug addict? Well, it doesn’t. Ex felon, ex DIL, drug addict, world’s worst driver…can we not see any red flags here? I also think that if you went to court that you may get into trouble. IANAL, but, I think that ‘putting something in somebody else’s name to avoid liability’ while you retain ownership is something like fraud. ---
