And you might have an alibi, and it would be obvious that the car had been tampered with (lock and ignition). Just like when are accused of a crime and all the evidence is pointing at you you will be a serious suspect but you still have a chance to explain and (if necessary) have your day in court later. The jury decides, but you can't blame the police for suspecting you did it.

Having one's day in court isn't necessarily a panacea. It depends on whether we're dealing with the police being required to prove you did it, or whether the burden of proof is on you to prove you didn't do it.
