| yes - because the theft was captured on the garage's CCTV (but picture quality was too poor to identify the individuals)! I'm not that bothered about the gearknob or the ashtray that was stolen - but I am about the hardtop as these are quite expensive...
The main issue that I have is that the garage is apparantly able to absolve itself of liability because they say they have signs up that say they are not responsible. I don't actually remember seeing where these signs are so I have to go back (or send a friend there) to take some pictures to see whether they pass any kind of reasonableness test.
But even if the signs were thrust in my face when I entered the premises does that mean they are not liable? My insurance company says that they have not won any cases in this kind of situation so are not going to take it any further unless I choose to claim on my own insurance.
I would like to research if there are any legal precedents for this before I have to dig in my own pocket for solicitors - it's now a point of principle!  |
