They disabled my dashcam when they worked on it, but didnt notice I had a rear dash cam.
When i reviewed it, they took my car out at 11PM for very spirited drives down the former airport service roads where the shop was.
I confronted the shop owner and he denied it. I showed him the video and he noticed it was one of his employees that took the car out. He was terminated right away. They paid for the damages.

I didnt even think it was the shops fault when it first happened. But i just happened to review the footage because I remembered I had a rear cam. The shop owner told me that this is uncharacteristic of his employee. I guess you can never be too sure of shit like this.
Wow, that's a crazy story
