Cars stolen while at repair shop, who is responsible? KPRC 2 Investigates 

They are having a note put on work order now Better read it first 😊

30 years ago I left my cargo van loaded with a touring bands musical instruments at a Dodge Dealership. Was being repaired due to a recall. The service manager was aware of the contents and assured me that the van would be stored inside the service department. Well, they lied, the vehicle was stolen from their property, found abandoned in local lot and of course all the contents including the wheels and tires were gone. Their insurance company covered all of it, there was no deductible either.

@@ringaleavo THAT WAS 30 YEARS AGO THOUGH.

Your suing the dealer good luck they can afford better attorneys than you can you will end up wasting your money and then having to file with your insurance. Get a lockjack.

@@tyriciankelly9185 When an item is in your care and you display negligence, you're responsible my friend

Especially if they left the keys unattended

Yea because... police exists jails exist and crime still happens. Who's fault will it be if they stole it from your front yard. I guarantee you'd be blaming the thieves then

@@youtubehatestruthtellers8065found the loser used car salesman

@@youtubehatestruthtellers8065 I believe that it was an inside job.

@youtubehatestruthtellers8065 police will take care of the theives. dealer have to take care of their PR/customer service, including preventing their cars from getting stolen.

Who's responsible when a thief steals a vehicle from your house?

@@youtubehatestruthtellers8065the thief? Lol how did you graduate high school bozo

mf, are you slow? what about this situation is their house? thr property was given under thr care of the repair shop... theyre responsible period!!! youre an ldiot ​@@youtubehatestruthtellers8065

@@youtubehatestruthtellers8065 the owner's insurance. Just like it would be for dealer's insurance if the car was taken under dealer's care.

@@youtubehatestruthtellers8065 a black or Hispanic guy

Yup someone working at dealership is insider job for the dude to steal the vehicle ain’t no way the guy knew what time to go there and key are ready and isn’t in lock box.

Auto shops Also have insurance

I mean...Dealer is half right. It will be dealer's insurance not owner's insurance.

It's what their insurance is for

Was not happening whe America was W

@@ChewyChicken589 Naive Eventually you ca no longer be insured After the 2015 Baltimore riots 400 stores closed because they could not be insured in that city Diversity has a high price tag

That happened to me 24 years ago and LAPD concluded that it was an inside job.

In this specific case, the thief's walked right into the dealership and grabbed that woman's car keys off their counter. The dealership is equally as guilty in this instance.

You're right. The thieves working at the dealership, leaving the customer's keys out for their thief buddies to come collect.

"Reasonable expectation"

😂 yea like yall hop skipping and jumping in America illegally

Does this comment make you feel like they will like you more? Lol 😂

@@taurussho86 relax son..go n eat a BBQ sandwich n take a Xanax pill n chill,that's wat yall good for

The part could be something as simple as a ture, or oil filter. Car can still run and need repairs/maintenance.

Racist bs.

You don't think a dealership can afford a couple car key lock boxes. Pretty sure that wouldn't even be a drop in the profit bucket to have.

You have to be careful on sublimation. A guy hit my car in the back and refused to answer. I went through sublimation with geico. They told me if the other party did not respond they would sent him to collections. If they fail to recover then that is the end of the claim. I would have to sue for the deductible. Geico is pointless.

@@donquique1 Geico was the worst as I recall. Years ago I was involved in a 3 car pileup where I was the middle car. I got hit and shoved forward into the car in front of me. I was driving a 4 door Suzuki sidekick and I got hit hard enough that despite the huge skid plate the gas tank was pushed in 5 inches and the whole drivetrain was shifted forward. (She was in a full sized Mercury grand Marquis and hit me going around 25 mph). Anyway my SUV was in the shop for over a week and my body guy called and said nobody had contacted him yet. ( this despite the fact that Geico said go ahead and take it to your shop of choice). When I got ahold of Geico the woman in the other end copped an attitude with me and said I was going to have to contact my own insurance company to fix it. ( at this point all I saw was red cause to get to work I was driving my 1985 Porsche 911 turbo as a daily cause it was all I had and it was eating me alive in gas and maintenance costs ) I just remember that a coworker said I just went off on them with a fury he had never imagined I had. I’m quite sure the 7 words you can’t say were spouted a few times. I’m also sure the empty threat of violence probably didn’t hurt. ( keeping in mind my 911 turbo was tuned and I was getting maybe 13 mpg on the highway). Anyways the next day they personally delivered a check so he could fix my SUV. The SUV as it turned out was terminally borked owing to the drivetrain damage and I blew 2 clutches on it in under a year before I traded it in. Cause of the damage the clutch wasn’t fully disengaging and it grenaded on me coming home. They really should have totaled the sidekick
