He needs to check the fine print on any service agreement he signed. If it says anything like "Not responsible for loss through theft, damage, etc" he is screwed. If there is no signed agreement or responsibility statement then he may be able to go after them. If there is he is screwed since he signed a legal agreement.

On the side note, which body shop is it. I don't want to speculate, but it could be an inside job also. Somebody took the keys, came back in the night and stole the car and returned the key next morning and acted shocked (this happened somewhere I used to work)

There are only two ways these cars can be stolen. They can be driven away by starting them with a key that has the chip in it or they can be towed away without hope of starting it. If driven away it will probably turn up but may not be in the best of shape. If towed away it is in a bunch of parts by now and will never be seen again. It is way too much expense and trouble for anybody to try to change the system for another key to work. Thieves are not know to invest money into their stolen goods.
There is zero way to hotwire, jimmy the ignition or in any other way start these without a key or fob.
