Was it wrong of me to do this to my neighbor?

Please don't judge me!
My neighbor and his wife went on vacation for a week to Ibiza. We know each other well from being neighbors, and he gave me his keys before he left to bring in his mail and feed/let out the dog. We discussed how the dog would be staying with me the week anyway, but I had the option to take him back there if necessary. I have given him my keys when I left for vacations so we were used to this.
After his first day gone, he texts me with, "Can you pull my car in my garage for me? I don't want it sitting out in the sun all week."
I said "sure, no problem." He left his car out parked in the driveway. The car keys were also on the keychain he gave me. I pulled it into his garage.
So the next day, I had a lightbulb moment. And this is where I'm going to get judged. Go easy on me.
I ended up parking my own car in my own garage, and I went over his house, and took his car to work. When I got home, I parked his car in my driveway, behind my car which was in the garage.
I took his car to work for 5 days straight - and it was parked in my driveway all that time, and never parked in his garage except that first night. I only used his care and allowed my car to have a nice, 5-day hibernation period.
The 2nd to last day before he would return, I pulled his car into his garage the night before, with intent for him to think it's been there all week. But I did get gas for him and made sure it was at the same spot it was when I started. I just hope he doesn't notice the mileage.
Was this a ****ty thing to do? I feel kind of guilty about it. I mean, I did take care of his dog and bought food and toys for him.
