Not sure why the datastore needs to know that a Car is associated with a
particular User.
There is no easy way for the datastore to handle cascading deletes in a
M-to-M relationship w/o reference counting.
Also setting the Fetch policy to load children with the parent load is not
an option due to them being in separate entity groups.

Regardless, you can use
     
*getObjectById<http://db.apache.org/jdo/api23/apidocs/javax/jdo/PersistenceManager.html#getObjectById%28java.lang.Class,%20java.lang.Object%29>
*(java.lang.Class<T> cls, java.lang.Object key)

to verify the Key is referencing a particular class and an object exists.
