State Inspection Joyride.

location: New kent VA

I took my car in to get a state inspection and as I'm sitting there in the lobby I watch the CCTV and I can see the car driving down the driveway and onto the highway. I immediately asked the manager what's going on with my car I was under the impression that it stayed inspection in Virginia is an entirely visual process like there is no test drive. The shop owner tells me that there is a test drive and that he is entitled to take it and he will call the police on me if I have an issue with it. I told him to go ahead and call his employee have him bring the car back I'll pay him for the inspection I'll take the rejection sticker just I don't want my car in the shop anymore. The owner proceeds to take his phone dial some number and on the first ring he says oh yes trooper so-and-so I'm taking a state inspection on a test drive it's part of our policy he then hangs up and says the trooper says I'm allowed to do it.

I told the owner I haven't spoken to the trooper for all I know that could be some random employee. at this point I demand the vehicle be returned and I offered him the 20 bucks for the rejection sticker. The shop owner tells me that the state police are coming I told him I'm willing to wait. you have my car I can't really go anywhere. The employee brings the car back about 10 minutes later parks it in the bay pulls off my inspection sticker then parks it right in front of the office he hands me the keys and I go to pay. they said we did not perform an inspection you don't owe any money and I said all right I'm leaving before I left I checked the trip computer and the technician had reached a speed of about 80 mph on route 60.

did a crime occur here maybe not Grand theft Auto but certainly unauthorized use or perhaps conversion I don't understand but the whole thing seems real shady I hung around for a few minutes more and no police showed up it's been about 4 hours and I haven't gotten a call from a trooper so I'd like to know what's going on Am I in any legal liability was crime committed against me I would appreciate any information from all of you thank you so much for your time.
