i'd say go have a talk with him and your bat. Alleys are always nice, especially if he lets you borrow his car keys after. Any kinda theft from me, would involve the other party going to the hospital, and possibly losing a body part. Even if you did owe them money, in no way is taking back the engine they installed and stripping your car equal to 1k, if they stripped your car, does that equal to you stripping their car while putting them in a hospital? According to their math it is.
