Can a mechanic drive your car home?

So my car is at my local dealers having some warranty work done. One of the issues is the typical 320i engine miss fire / stutter. I got a call from them this evening asking if they could take it for a test drive tonight ? Sure I said. Then I asked "you don't mean can one of your mechanics take my car home tonight do you?" Yes was the reply, the mechanics don't get paid to do test drives and this is common practice here. (Cooper Croydon).
Well I obviously said no. I didn't bring my car to you to give free transport home for your mechanics. If you want to test drive it then you can do it during the working day.

Has anyone else been heard of this practice?
