thanks guys.
The car was left in their car park (along with the cars that they sell) which has a fairly high fence all the way around the perimeter and a locked gate. The thieves climbed over the fence, stole the hardtop and passed it over the fence.
The garage deals exclusively in my type of car and they know that the hard tops are targetted by thieves. There is a workshop that my car could have been left in overnight if they had wanted to but I have no idea whether it was full of other cars or not.
Would that constitute reasonable duty of care? Who decides whether it is or not?
