It is your car, so you will be responsible, however, this would be a good court case, because he/she actually "stole " your car and drove it. your insurance company and your lawyer will advise you what to do.
Another View: It would, indeed, be an interesting case. There is such a charge as "Permitting an Unlicensed Operator." The law considers the person behind the wheel to be the person in charge of "operating" the vehicle. If you allowed the unlicensed person to sit behind the wheel, then you'allowed" him to be in control of the car, whether they drove off without your permission, or not. You may skate by without a traffic charge but your insurance company is not going to be happy with you. r

Whose fault is it if an uninsured driver slides down a snowy unplowed driveway into the illegally parked car of the homeowner?
The fact that the car was illegally parked doesn't matter. The driver of the moving car was responsible to adjust their driving to the road conditions, and to ensure it was safe to proceed. This accident will be the fault of the uninsured driver.

If an uninsured driver backs into a parked car that was backed in making it less visible to the driver on private property and the driver nor it's passengers could see the car what happens?
You hit a parked vehicle. No matter how or where it was parked, you are responsible for the damages. If you hit the car, you could have seen the car if you had been looking. You have no insurance which is a violation of the law. Pay the owner of the car you hit and accept responsibility for your poor driving, and stop trying to blame this on how the vehicle you hit was parked. It is your fault plain and simple.
Will an insured driver liability cover intentional damages to uninsured car that is parked?
Yes, as long as the car is parked on private property. Cars stored on private property and not "in service" are the same as any other property, If the insured runs into your parked car our your house the insurance will pay. That's not quite correct. If the damage was intentional, meaning that the driver of the insured car deliberately struck the uninsured parked car, then the at fault driver's insurance will NOT pay because of a clause in the policy that excludes coverage for 'intentional acts' like criminal activity (which is what this is). So the parked car's owner would have to pursue a civil case against the at fault driver and try to collect against their personal assets.

If your parked car was hit in the rear and the person who hit you has no license or insurance who is responsible for the damage to your vehicle and the medical bills for any injuries?
Well the person that hit you is not responsible enough to drive with insurance, if someone was in your parked car, you would still be responsible,its your car after all. The person that hit your car would be liable and you would have to go after them legally. If the uninsured driver in fact gets injured he will be responsible for himself, insurance companies are not in the business of paying people who drive illegally.
