Vandalism at auto shop

[TerriS]

My car was broken into and stereo equipment stolen while my car was parked at the auto repair shop. They had already had the car for close to a week but had left it in front of the shop instead of in the locked lot behind the shop. They say their insurance won't cover it because the car was not in the locked lot. Aren't they liable?

Impossible to say without all the information, but they probably are. They have a duty to take reasonable care of your car. They have a locked lot for storing cars in; they didn't use it.
