Under the facts you have described, you brother has stolen your truck. You can go to the police, with your truck's title, tell the police he stole your truck and ask that he be charged with theft. If the truck is worth more than $1,000, he can be charged with theft in the first degree, which carries a penalty of up to 5 years in prison and/or a fine of $125,000.
