Analogies never work.
The reason that it is wrong to take my car, even if I don’t notice, are multiple:
- You are still depriving me of the possibility of using my own car, even if it happened to be the case that I didn’t need it. I could have come home early. I could have told some friend or family to pick up my car so that they could use it. I could have had an appointment that someone would come by to service my car while I was absent. All of this is made impossible if someone takes my car.
- It still causes wear and tear on my car if you use it.
- You could get into an accident, which could hurt you and damage my car.
- I don’t want random strangers to sit their butts in my car.
- etc
