This is interesting, are you saying while your vehicle was stolen the thief got into an accident that was not his fault? That's unusual, the thief is generally driving so irratically and clearly At Fault, but in this case, (never had a claim like this), I'm really not sure, the argument could be made that the vehicle was being used in a felony therefore no recovery, however if the other person were negligent do they still not owe for their negligence? I know if a drunk driver (let's say), is at a stop sign, and is rearended, his 'drunkeness' didn't contribute to the accident, and he will (generally subject to the policy wording and any state laws), be compensated for his loss by the vehicle that rearended him. File it with yours and the 'at fault' drivers policys. I would be interested to hear how that is handled if you would let me know.

What if your car is taken without permission and a police car hit your car and causes damage to the police car and your car is your insurance liable.?
It depends on who is at fault. If the police car had his lights on, or otherwise was in the right, then the registered owner of the car at fault, will probably be liable, no matter who is driving, and, your insurance may not have to cover it. If the driver has proper insurance, they may cover it, though. And, if they had keys to your car, then they had permission. In my experiences anyway, that is the way the law views it. Answer If a car is taken without your permission it is stolen, no matter who is driving it or whether it is reported stolen. You should not be liable for any damage to the police car. How your insurance company deal with your claim is between you and them, there is no general rule. In the UK there is a process for recovering uninsured loss.

What do you say to the other partys insurance company if you have no insurance and the accidient is your fault?
Just that, chances are the not at fault driver carries uninsured motorists coverage to protect them from these instances. But this will not make you any less liable for the damage you caused. If the not at-fault driver's insurance company pays for the damage you caused, you can expect them to sue you to recover for damages that you are liable for. If you do not have any assets and are unable to make payment, a judge can have your future wages garnished to repay the insurance company. Depending on the extent of the damages and the laws in your state you may want to consult a bankruptcy attorney.

If a friend drove your vehicle when there was no insurance and was involved in an accident who is liable for the cost to replace the car?
There is more than one answer to this question. Because you did not state who was at fault in the accident. If the other driver was at fault, it is that person or their insurance company that is responsible for the repairs on your car. If it is the friends fault, then it is the friend that is responsible. Even if the friend did or did not know you had did not have insurance.
