Your dad likely suffered the same problem. Everytime I bring my
vehical in for an oil change before I leave I lift the hood and check
the oil that's it's fresh oil and properly filled. Some two years ago
I needed a new battery installed. Before leaving I raised the hood to
look at the new battery and there were the mechanic's tools sitting on
the air cleaner cover,

I hope next you have any work done on your vehicle, especially
involving oil, that before leaving you raise the hood and do some
inspection. Once you drive off it'll be very hard to blame the
service station.
