In a nutshell:
My vehicle was at a local repair shop. The repairs were partially complete, and the shop was waiting on the remaining parts to arrive to complete repairs. Overnight, the car was stolen from the repair facility. Not only was it stolen, but the thieves drive the car into a store window locally. In the morning, the police found the car in the side of the building.
Questions: What is my or my insurance companies' liability for damage to the building? The car is now totalled. There is an outstanding shop bill for partially completed work. Can the shop recover that $ from me, am I responsible for it, or are they responsible for inadequate protection of my vehicle? They had a locked gate which was broken to steal my car.
Thanks for any general assessment of the situation.
