The dealership with have garage liability and grage keepers liability. If vehicle is damage due to normal business it would pay. In the above situation, I woud guess it does not apply since essentially the vehicle was stolen from the dealership.
When it is all said and done, the insurance company paying for the loss will subrogate against the person who took the car to recover their money.

Thanks Payton. I was in the towing business in Ga. for 13 years. I saw this more than once while a car was at a repair shop. One in particular was a dealership where two porters wrecked two cars racing at lunch. Both individuals insurances had to pay for the totals. It may be different in other states, I don't know but that is how it was in Ga.
Not that any of this matters, and no use debating since it looks like the OP and that issue has been resolved.
