Just an analogy - what if you rent your house and the renter happens to be a serial killer and 'uses' the house to murder people, and in one of the acts kills himself. Won't it be ludicrous for the authorities to prosecute the owner ? Unless they can establish that the owner had prior knowledge of the serial killer and rented the house on purpose.

I don't understand how the owner of the car can be held responsible for the damages.
