what I should have done was not called the police, and showed up before opening time and waited. That way a.- he wouldnt have thought to bring it back in the middle of the night (if he did) b.- I could have caught him in the act and avoided the cop issue if he had a good explanation. BUT...I didnt assume the car was gone forever...I didnt know what to think...I assumed someone from the shop was joy riding (which I shouldnt have jumped to, but hey) or yes it was stolen.
