munchausen by proxy

Munchausen syndrome by proxy is a mental illness and a form of child abuse. The caretaker of a child, most often a mother, either makes up fake symptoms or causes real symptoms to make it look like the child is sick.

The DSM-IV places Factitious Disorder by proxy (i.e., Munchausen's syndrome by proxy) into this category, defining it as “the intentional production or feigning of physical or psychological signs or symptoms in another person who is under the individual's care for the purpose of indirectly assuming the sick role."
Their sole caretaker was diagnosed with Munchausen by Proxy after it was discovered they were poisoning the child to make them seem more ill in order to gain sympathy.

When you are sharing your vehicle with someone and it get damaged in someway (door ding, curb check, scratch, totaled) and you blame it on the person you share with, only to find out later that it was your own fault.
Dick: Great, now my wheel is all chewed up because you curb checked. And I know it was you because it wasn't like that last week, and I certainly didn't do that.
Jane: I haven't used the car in the last two weeks, Dick. I've been in the hospital, Dick.
Dick: Yeah, likely story
*LATER*
Dick: Huh, well, I guess I did that when I drove home drunk and ran over that stop sign.
Jane: Yeah, Dick, we call that vehicular Munchausen's by proxy. No one hurt your fucking BMW but you, Dick.
