Well, you broke the terms of your contract then, so you can't expect
to be completely free of blame. Any Hertz desk I've ever seen has a
box where you leave the keys in such circumstances.  Didn't you have
theft insurance for the car?

That said, Hertz will always try and get as much money as they can in
any case like that. I know someone whose car was involved in a minor
accident that was not his fault (the car was rear-ended when he was
waiting at a junction). Hertz billed his credit card $2000 for the
(slightly cracked) rear bumper.
