The person who hit your vehicle is responsible. On the other hand, if you had comprehensive coverage on your vehicle (which you should have had), then your insurance company would be responsible.

James Eugene Hasser
The driver of the stolen car. You can attempt to get restitution out of him in the criminal proceedings, but your best bet is to file a collision claim on your own policy and let your insurance company worry about getting their money back.
