A little surface rust on the rotors is normal under humid conditions.

I doubt if the garage would go through the trouble to take or steal used
rotors or pads. They would have to put some kind or replacement part on,
and the value of used parts, OEM or not, is not enough to make it worth
investing in the labor to take them.

They can only make a guess and they can tell if the rotors are OEM or
aftermarket.

If you have drum brakes in the rear, they may need to be cleaned.
