Toyota Dealership Oil Change & No Oil in the Motor

So the fam and I are on vacation in Hilton Head and it's raining so I make an appointment at the local Toyota Dealership to get a oil change for my 99 Landcruiser. Takes about an hour and drive it back to our condo, about 20 miles, check the oil pressure gauge once and it seems normal. Later drive it to dinner, about 1 mile, then to Blockbuster, 1/2 mile, start to go home and the motor sounds like s--t and no power. Immediatly check gauge, nothing, and immediatly pull over, check dip stick and dry as a bone. The check engine light did not come on and it did not overheat. It is raining like hell, got a bit of a tropical storm yesterday, so do not investigate to much, but there is oil all over the lower front of the engine area, I think maybe leaking from the filter but it is tight. Leave the vehicle sit and get a ride to the condo. I sent the guy who waited on me at the dealership a email and will be calingl in the morning, he is the same guy who told me how 'awesome' there service was.

Question: Do not know the particulars yet of the lack of oil, but what should I be looking for from the dealership? How do they prove to me there is no damage to the motor?
