How many Tesla's have been stolen. Only other one that I remember is a Roadster where the thieves left it parked to most likely see if it was being tracked.

I am very curious as to how it was stolen. Was the fob left in the car? I can't think of how else he would have enabled the car to drive.

I had a nightmare last week that a thief hacked the app and stole my car by starting it that way, and I helped the police get it back using the app. First I quickly put it in Valet Mode, though, LOL
