Beyond Driven
Glad you got your car back - and unscathed, even, despite the reekage.
After walking over to within sight of the car, my first call would be to Tesla to ask that the logs be retained specifically to determine where the car was and when. My second call would be to the police to get a report filed and to give them the opportunity to acquire prints or other evidence. I might reverse the order of those calls depending upon the neighborhood.
Now, nothing much may result, but at the point and time of recovery, you have no idea whether the car was used in the commission of multiple murders or other mayhem overnight or just a simple joyride - or both. Good call to have the security video handy.
See, in LA and in other fine bastions of humanity, it's happened that someone helps themselves to a given car, and depending upon the state of inter-gang relations at the time, uses it to shoot two or three other upstanding members of the community. Friends of those now-expired upstanding members now know only to look for (in this case), you guessed it, your Tesla. And things go rapidly downhill from there.
If people took car theft more seriously (125 years ago, I believe you could still get hanged for horse theft - and go figure, there wasn't much horse theft), there'd be less associated crime.
Harrumph.
