Guys, thanks for the compliment (I think [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]).

Seriously though, get the number for the local police department that covers that town and call their detective bureau ASAP. Tell them this is not a civil matter: your car has been stolen, which according to the fact pattern you are describing, it has. Tell them where the shop is and give them all the paperwork and info you can.

I will guarantee you that the name of the shop won't be a surprise to the local police there.
