You cannot transfer games from one account to another. It's not possible.

You're pretty damn bad at describing situations you know?

If it's a boxed copy like it sounds to be then you can just add it to your steam account by using the CD key.
If you fish about on your accounts game library you should find a button to add new games by CD key

If he still is playing the game, report him to the police for illegally selling a game, also selling a steam account, which is technically did, is also illegal.

Haha, the police don't actually care about this kind of thing.
They're busy catching burglars and stuff.  :cookieMonster:
