Help!! flood engine

please help me.
I parked my car at my friend's for 3 weeks and he moved the car really quick during the bad cold weather and it will not start again. looks like its flooded.
I tried to crank the car but nothing. I had the car towed to the dealer and they replaced a new battery and spark plug. They said they did a compression test and is sure that my engine is gone. WTF.....
So what should I do now? Get my car back and work on my own?
I just dont believe that the engine was damaged.

What were the documented results from the compression test? Search on this topic first on this site so you know what good numbers versus bad numbers are and then get this info on your motor from the dealer.

Also, please provide more info on your ride: year, miles, configuration, aftermarket stuff, service history, etc. Need to know more to give any reasonable level of gudiance.
