I would still believe you would get stuck for damages. You own the car, and

accident and claiming the car was stolen, as well as with deep pocket laws,
they are going after the money. I was in a company class with the guy with
the shot up car.



Bill,
The only way to answer this question to anyone satisfaction is to
contract their insurance company. Mine told me that the comprehensive
insurance coverage would pay to fix my car, but they would not be
responsible for the damage caused to other property caused by the person
who stole your car. That would have to be covered by the other people's
uninsured motorists and comprehensive coverage.

Now if we follow your logic about the responsibility remains with the
car, if a criminal steals your car, robs a bank, and then gets away,
they could hold you responsible for the money stolen because it was your
car that was used in the commission of a crime.
