When we have participle clauses with a different subject, the correct structures are:
SUBJ + -ing...., Different SUBJ + verb
Her bicycle having been damaged by vandals, Helen had to walk.
With + SUBJ + -ing...., Different SUBJ + verb
With both my parents working all day, I have to cook my own lunch
These sentences are NOT correct:
X Having been damaged by vandals, Helen had to walk rather than go on her bicycle.
X Having her bicycle been damaged by vandals, Helen had to walk.
