Participle clauses.

Hello dear teachers!

Would you please tell me which one is correct?

1. Having my car stolen taught me a lesson not to leave the car doors unlocked..

2. Having my car stolen, I learnt a lesson not to leave the car doors unlocked..

3. My car, having been stolen, it taught me a lesson not to leave the car doors unlocked.

4. having been stolen my car, I learnt a lesson not to leave the car doors unlocked.

Personally I go for the second one, but I'm not sure if the first and the third one are really incorrect.

Thanks very much indeed in advance.
