#2 is grammatically wrong because "car" is singular. You cannot say "my car have".
The only sentence that makes logical sense is #3. In #3, the structure is:
SUBJECT = "I"
VERB = "found"
ADJECTIVE CLAUSE = "having been stolen" (modifies "car")
The other sentences are poor but not 100% wrong. The main problem is that it is not the "car" that is "found". Let's take #7 as an example. The thing that is "found" is not the car but rather the fact that the car was stolen. To fix #7, you should say something like
"I found that my car was stolen".
All the other sentences have similar problems.
