The plaintiff says he brought his car to the defendants’ shop for repairs, but it was gone when he went to pick it up — stolen by some lady right off the lot with all his expensive equipment in the trunk. He says the defendants won’t reimburse him, so he’s suing for what he’s owed. The defendants say the plaintiff told them his daughter would pick up the car, but somehow a stranger took off with it. The plaintiff got insurance for it, so why should they pay?
