If the act has a direct link or causation to a prievious party (sometimes called defendant) then the party with the deepest pockets is going to be the target but they must first address causation and responsibility and this case simply fails in that area. Guns make an interesting argument on your behalf but also creates an argument that is not appropriate on this list being WAAAYYYyyy too "off topic".

>>I absolutely don't understand your reasoning why a manufacturer would be responsible. It certainly wouldn't go to product liability in that there is no negligent defect apparent in the tractor other than someone stole it and went on a drunken craze. But for the illegal actions of the teen the tractor would still be parked and not hurting anyone so how is the manufacturer pulled into the picture?
