My response:

There is nothing you can do. The Dealer is not liable for the theft, you are. The reason is twofold: The scooter was in your possession, custody, or control when it was stolen, and two, it was your responsibility to make sure you had proper insurance with an insurance agent, the moment the scooter left the dealership.

It's not the responsibility of the dealership to offer insurance, or to even inquire of you how you want, or don't want, to protect your own property - - it's your responsibility. Now, you've got payments, and no scooter.

My response:

You need actual proof of the fact that the lock was defective (not merely your "word"), and also, proof that "but for" the lock being defective, the scooter would not have been stolen.

If you knew the lock was defective, and that fact would have prevented your scooter from being stolen, you had a responsibility to yourself to have the lock replaced.

Would the lock have made a difference? Probably not. Scooters can be lifted into a truck, and still be stolen.

Bottom line, you failed to obtain insurance, and/or to have the lock replaced. You only have yourself to look to in this matter.

And, yes, I am.
