The car was allegedly stolen last Friday from a home in Ocean Reef.
Owner Conor Lagan is a ride-share driver, and said he was asleep when his work car was stolen.
He said he was now out of pocket $10,000 in damages and loss of income.
"Pulling up next to the police station to get your fuel and ciggies probably wasn't a great idea," Mr Lagan said.
"Fortunately it looks like we've got it back, albeit slightly dented."
Three other people fled the scene, with police yet to make any further arrests.
