What state is this in? (Yes, it can be important)
He has a "bill of sale" ... is it signed by her? Has it been registered with your state's DMV? Is HIS name anywhere on the paperwork?
Are the police involved? If so, what did they say?

The only reason the title was in her name was because he wasn't able to put it in his name at the time... he has had possession of car for over 4 years... the car is no longer registered. . Shouldn't she just be entitled to the plates? The battery that was sitting in the jeep belongs to me from my car..plus he had his own valuables inside the jeep... did she have the right to come on my property while I wasnt home and take things inside jeep as while that do not belong to her..?

It's never wise to leave important valuables in the car at night.

you need to explain that. Who are the parties on the bill of sale and what each party is listed as.

with the title in her name, it appears it is her car so no

installed in the Jeep? If so, it is part of the vehicle and belongs to the girl

.well that was dumb. Why would he store his own valuables, first, in a Jeep and second, in his former girlfriend's Jeep?

did you call the police and report the matter? If so, what did they say?
so, what is your boyfriend doing about this? If anything happens, it has to be by his actions.

So, there is no registered owner and the title is in HER name? Well, if the boyfriend is not the registered owner nor on the title, SHE looks like the owner of the car. Again, laws vary by state so knowing what state this is in can be important.
You and your boyfriend can ask her for your stuff back, and maybe even ask the police to accompany you to her place to keep the peace while you get the stuff. But, the battery? Sorry, that's part of the car now. You or your boyfriend can sue her for what you have put in the car, but whether you win or not will depend on the respective arguments made by both sides.
