Contributory Negligence
The dealer and the culprit should both be sued with full restitution being made to the OP.
The dealer was likely contributory negligent for not properly training and controlling the behavior of their employee in this case, and for giving him the responsibility and access to the keys. In addition, if it turns out they hired a person with a bad record, they could even be liable for the whole ball of wax.
A good attorney will sue both and the dealer's failure to insure employee ethics is a factor of negligence.
