Default Legal Ownership of a Car

The recent Olds post brought up some very interesting debate as to the ownership of a car given one person owns the Title and another person has posession of the physical car.

This is the situation I currently face as I had a car stored in New York and someone decided to "help themselves" to it. When I went to get it, nobody knew what happened to it and played stupid. I was so shocked that people would be so brazen that I just turned around and left. This was two years ago. I did not call the cops because it was in a small town and well, you know how that goes.

If I find the car, could I actually legally take it even if someone managed to get it re-titled in New York? My Title was a California Title and I still have it in my name. What should I do?
