My mother in law thinks I said I would take her car from her and that I stay outside her house watching her home based on stories from her neighbors.
She also imagines someone is in her condo taking her jewelry and pills.
-How do I get back to having her talk to me? And deal with her thinking someone is in her condo? She lives entirely alone and is 94.

She cannot be living alone anymore.
For the love of God, she CANNOT be allowed to keep a car and drive.
My friend, the problem is not getting your MIL to talk to you again.
Judging from what you're saying here, the problem is that she's out of it and in an unsafe living situation. Please for her sake have a family meeting and either put her in a care facility or make arrangements for her to have homecare if that's possible.

Other than meds possibly helping her, I have no idea.
She really should be placed somewhere for her own safety.
