Could i press charges?

alright so i was dating this girl, and for about 6 months i was staying at her house, well my car engine blew and i was forced to tow it to her house where i was living at the time, well a few months later(i still hadnt finished putting in my new engine) i caught her cheating on me so i moved out, i didnt get paid till that weekend so i told her i would be back at the end of the week to tow my car, i left that day and was told by a friend that night that she posted on facebook a picture of them towing my car, i called her to ask and she didnt answer, well when i went over there my car was gone, and i could not get ahold of her, finally i did and she told me she had my car towed to an impound lot, i called them and they said they needed to charge me $200 per day plus $160 tow fee, so by that weekend it was over $900 and i couldnt afford it, so i never was able to get my own car back with my new engine sitting in it. since i lived there for 6 months cant sue or press charges for stealing my property??

Update:

"Theft- taking of another person's property without that person's permission or consent with the intent to deprive the rightful owner of it." is this not what was done to me? and to a whole car none the less, thousands of dollars worth of property

    You can't really "press charges." The most you can do is file a police report.

    In this case, the police are going to tell you it's not clearly a criminal matter, so doing anything with the police is a waste of time.

    You can sue her in small claims court for related damages. You should probably consult a local attorney or legal service for advice about how to go about things.
