Re: oral contrack
I'm not sure. Your argument would be that the items were conditional gifts and that you gave the gifts to her conditioned upon some type of agreement such as an engagement agreement. There is Pennsylvania Supreme Court precedent on the subject of engagement rings. I don't know of any cases where the agreement was simply to live together or where the gift was a car.
