My digital SLR camera was stolen from my car while it was being fixed at the dealership. Can they be held liable for the cost? My car broke down Friday and I locked the car and got a ride to work. My husband then went and unlocked the car and the tow truck came and took it to the service department at the dealership. I didn't think anything about leaving my camera as my husband used to work there and knows the tow truck driver. When he picked the car up Saturday he noticed something was different and called me to ask if I had the camera. I said no so he cleaned the entire car (we have kids and its been cold and wet so it was messy). He didn't find the camera so I called the dealership (after he did) and told them about it (again, after my husband already had) - they assured me they had locked the vehicle it was probably the tow truck driver. I called the police department Sunday and they said they would call me if someone came in with it. I am going to the dealership tonight!!
Dealerships, repair facilities, tow companies, storage compounds, parking lots, etc, are never legally responsible for contents of a vehicle unless they specifically accept responsibility. I have never seen a sign at any business accepting such responsibility. If the camera doesn't show up, talk to your home insurance agent about putting in a claim, if it has a value greater than 150% of whatever your deductible is. It sounds like the camera was regularly left in the vehicle, which is not the proper thing to do with valuable property.
