Jeez that's rough.

I suppose it's whether you just leave the keys out or hide them but risk confrontation. Still not sure about that one.

We're going with the thoughts that they're just cars and at the end of the day the people and pets are safe. The cars may not be seen again (just because of what they are) and everything else has been re-keyed and coded. But the weekend plans are off, and the adult teenager doesn't want to be home alone, even though his is the only car that's left on the property. Sort of grateful that their dog didn't wake up or bark at the time, because who knows what may have been.
