Hello,
In the first sentence " when I went to the car park, I found that my car had been stolen".
why did you use "been" with past perfect?
Thanks for any reply.

Hello
The verb is in the passive voice :

I found that my car had been stolen (passive voice) = I found that somebody had stolen my car (active voice).
