Theoretically, yes if a civil suit was brought. But chances are they will not have the equity to pay any suit brought against them (since they're having to steal in the first place!) I'm sure most people just take the hit on insurance.

The rear sway bar reduces available traction to the rear during a slide/swerve. It can actually make a rear end slide harder to control.

It wasn't a chase. At that speed, it was merely a "following"

Well, I mean, at least it held up right? Not much of a getway car but it seems to take a beating. It looks too cute from that view. It's absolutely intolerable.
