The dealer has some responsibility, though they will probably try to get out of it or get you to put it through your insurance.
Example:
A friend of mine was driving down the road, talking on his cell phone, dropped in the passenger foor well. As he was picking it up he knocked the rear view mirror off. Stopped by a dealer and asked if they could put it on.
They sent a tech and while he was trying to put it on, he broke the windshield. They didn't want to do anything about it and told my friend to put it through his insurance.
He called a lawyer through Pre-Paid Legal Services. The lawyer wrote a letter and 3 days later my friend got a call from the owner of the dealership asking when he could stop by and put in a new windshield.
All this and more for $17/mo in my state.

Time to ask the dealership for the name of their insurance company. They have a duty/responsibility to ensure the safety of your vehicle while it is in their care. They have the keys..
Also file a police report of your own that way there is no bias on the part of the dealership and their "version" of what may or may not have occured. Or get a copy of their police report and see what they might have termed it as.
Your other optrion is to contact your insurance company and tell them you need to file a subrogatable claim. They will know what it is. Give them your details. be specific and do not speculate.
Good luck..

They had a case like this on the People's Court recently and if the theft happened while it was in the dealer's possession, they are liable. In this case, if they think it was an "inside job" that only solidifies your case against them.
Call the police, file a police report then send a demand letter with the fair market value of the items stolen and give them a reasonable specified period of time to make payment, make arrangements to make payment or threaten to sue them in Small Claims Court.

I believe you should talk to your lawyer....I think they are at fault....and maybe even by telling them you will talk to your lawyer about it...they may want to settle in stead of getting negative publicity..or tell them your gonna contat the paper.

none- if you signed a repair order it most likely states in the
small print that they are not responsible for theft or damage.
