It almost happened to me a couple of times when I had the coupe, real easy to sit it on there for whats suppose to be a few minutes then get side tracked and forget all about it....Always, always latch it down no matter what/

If he gets lucky and finds a used in the right color...300-500 maybe less if he finds one with no hardware and transfers his old hardware.

Luckily for me, I selected a convertible , where, once you hit about 35 mph the unfastened top lifts, but is still attached, saving me the walk of shame back to retrieve my top out of the street. It's happened to me a couple of times, hopefully I have learned by now, but wouldn't bet big money on it.

I have read here about flat panels being easy to wrap, but understand not everyone has a ton of free time to monkey around with cars.

All the best with your repair.
