Who is liable for damages done to your vechicle if it was not your fault and the other car was stolen?

If a car that was reported stolen hits your car why would the stolen car's insurance company refuse to pay for damages?
Probably because the owner did not exercise normal precautions and by leaving the keys in the vehicle actually participated in its theft. Call that lawyer who advertises on TV. If he can't get the insurance to pay, he'll get a judgment against the owner. The owner of a stolen vehicle is not responsible for the actions of the thief that stole their vehicle. If there is no liability on the owner, the insurance company does not owe the claim for property damage to others.
Why am I being held responsible for damage to someone elses property if it is being covered by their homeowners insurance?
When you damage someones property you are liable for the costs of that damage. If you fail to pay for the damage you caused and the homeowners insurance company pays the bill, Then you now owe the Insurance company what you failed to pay to the homeowner. Its no different from an Auto Insurance accident. If you were at fault or rather "Liable" for the accident and you fail to pay the bill. The other vehicles Insurance may fix their insureds car and send you the bill. Just because someone else has to pay for the damages you caused does not mean you don't still owe the money. They only paid because you failed to pay timely. Think about this for a minute What if you Robbed a Bank. Naturally the Bank is insured so they will get their money back right away. Does that mean the bank robber gets to keep the money he stole? Of course not. If and When the Bank robber is finally caught he will still owe back the money he stole. But since the bank has already been reimbursed by its Insurer you now owe that money to the Insurance company who covered the theft.
