Stolen Vehicle that caused damage | Who pays?

Person is camping in the woods when a stolen vehicle out for a joy ride runs them over and destroys their camp.

The person goes to the hospital with injuries and files a police report. Later the car is recovered.

Is the car owners insurance responsible for any of the damage and medical bills?

Answer:

Probably not. Most insurance policies (auto policies) exclude coverage for damages caused by non-permissive drivers. Joy rides include non permissive drives and thus, coverage would probably not be granted.
