You sure? Who wants to keep track of a kid's fake debt? A couple months down the road no one wants to deal with it anymore. An ass beating is a more pragmatic approach.
This pretty much sums it up. Lazy, uninterested parents who have no patience or logic or common sense are always the ones who resort to violence. Why invest time and energy into teaching your child valuable life lessons when you can do something that makes you feel better about yourself(with no regard to the affects on the kid) and go back to completely ignoring them until they do something wrong again.
It only takes seconds to implant the memory in the kid's head. By the time he pays off the car damage ($3000+?) he'll be an adult and he'll probably have caused more damage since then and incurred even more "debt." The only lesson you're teaching him is he's gonna owe someone money the rest of his life.
Should parents be held responsible for their kids' mistakes?

It's not rocket science. The dad pays it off, then the son pays back the dad over instalments by doing a side job.
That way kid learns responsibility and gets job experience.
If it takes the kid a year or two to pay it back, then that should teach the shit to steal cars.
If the kid finds a (legal) side hustle that earns good money to pay back in big chunks, even better. You've got an entrepreneur.
What's for damn sure is that beating the kid won't do shit. Violence isn't the answer, brains are.
