[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 383936, member: 4264"] I don't know what laws are there etc. But here I can't see the garage being liable. Even if it was in the area inside the fence. Mind you perhaps the garage has insurance in place for vandalism to customers property but given the sign they have up, it seems unlikely. It would be presumed too that most who go to a garage for repairs have their own insurance. If the shop did have insurance, I can't see any reason the person whose car was damaged couldn't file a claim via that route. However if the shop does not have that insurance, I'd think the person who removed their own insurance would be really morally in the wrong to pursue damages from the garage. I could be overlooking a different train of thought of course. I just figure if I go to Walmart, or the hardware store or the movies, and come out to find my car vandalized I have no legal or moral right to pursue costs from the business who owned the parking lot. And I guess I'd just really kick myself for not being insurance. Whoever this happened to, that's a lousy break Janet. Especially since finances were tough enough to require a year to pay the vehicle repair bill. I'm sorry this happened. [/QUOTE]
