OPINION
ROBERT H. SCHUMACHER, Judge.
The state appeals the district court’s ruling that respondent Anne Stanton had a bona fide security interest in her granddaughter’s vehicle that was seized by the state. We affirm.
FACTS
On May 8, 2001, Stanton co-signed on an installment loan for her granddaughter to purchase a 2001 Mazda automobile. The loan was guaranteed by Stanton’s savings account. Granddaughter wrote a letter to Stanton that same day pledging the vehicle as collateral for the loan. Neither party ever registered Stanton’s interest in the vehicle with the state.
