You pay. All shops have disclaimers about not being responsible for fire, theft, etc. Technically the shop did not yet receive the vehicle so it is kinda like you parking in front of your house and having the car broke into.
Now, given that, perhaps a little chat with the owner of the shop can get you a discount on the repair which is better than nothing.
You might also contact a lawyer and/or sue them in small claims court
I recommend you go to court and get some good lawyers if this bothers you if not just live with it. They should be liable for damages because you didn’t sign anything that makes you responsible. Sue the tow truck guys to me it seems they messed up the most big time.
some states have laws that state no matter if a disclaimer is in affect or not the shop must take reasonable care of any vehicle on their property and is responsible for any damage to that vehicle their for the shop knew the truck was coming in and someone should of been there to make sure it was left in the right place , but then you may need to sue the shop and tow companies to get the damages paid for

Basically, it’s your car and you are responsible. It’s no different than if you had parked it in a theater parking lot and the same thing happened.
