I always find those stories to be rather pathetic. As in one person who stole a car, crashed it and ended up with permanent damage. His parents were upset when they lost a court case to force the car owner's insurance company to pay for his on-going health care. Evidently the court didn't recognize a car thief as an uninsured driver. Even worse, the insurance company returned to court to successfully sue the car thief to recover the costs of repairing the car. Well, the suit was successful, the chances of collecting a nickel is unlikely.
Don't do the crime, if you can't do the time.
