Assuming the stolen car was insured, the stolen cars insurance would be responsible. If the stolen car was not insured, the driver, if located would be responsible. If not located then the owner would probably be held responsible. Hopefully the struck vehicle is insured for "uninsured motorist" coverage. Filing the report after the accident would document the theft, but not neccesarily clear the owner of responsibility.

The mechanic is not responsible for what happens in his parking lot. Your car has insurance, you will have to file the claim through your company. You should file a police report so that if the hit and run guy is caught, he will be responsible.


A car backed out and hit my car. I was not in the car but she is claiming i was parked in an illegal spot?

I hope you got a police report. In any case, whether or not you were parked legally is not relevant. A driver is responsible for damages caused when hitting any stationary object... like a parked car. Just offer to take her to small claims court, or contact a lawyer. Most lawyers would just consider that one fun.
