Talked to an old friend in Colorado that happens to be a lawyer. In Colorado, based on the known facts, the dealer would be in deep. There are a few things that would make the dealer a little "less" in trouble.

Did this employee "break into" the dealership or did he have access during closed hours?

Did he "break into" the location the keys are kept or did he have access during closed hours?

If he didn't "break into" the dealership in any way but had after hours access to the building, keys, and vehicle, then the dealership is responsible. If he broke into the dealership, they are also a victim.

The dealership was in possession of the ZL1 so their insurance company should be taking care of the totaled car. As far as a new car goes, the dealer should bend over backwards to come to an agreement with the customer on getting him a new vehicle (ZL1, C7, etc). Their current offer is a joke based on the fact it has a registered accident on file and is not equivalent to what the customer had. The "bad press" this dealer is getting will affect sales, the longer it goes, the worse it will be for them.
