      <![CDATA[The whole "they don't know who was driving the car" thing is a red herring. It's your car - you're responsible, unless you've filed a police report about your car being stolen.<br>
<br>
If you loan somebody your gun and they use it to commit a crime, should you be allowed to stonewall the investigation because "they don't know for sure who was using the gun" and can't prove it was you?
