I'm suing my mechanic for negligence that led to the theft of some equipment from my car. I was hoping for some advice on the strengths and weaknesses of my case as well as some case law if anyone had some from my jurisdiction.
Thank you very much for any advice at all.
This is the plaintiff's claim I submitted:
Theft and Vandalism to 1993 Toyota MR2
The plaintiff contracted the defendant for motor vehicle repairs. On June 16th, 2005 the plaintiff's 1993 Toyota MR2, which was in the possession of the defendant Four Seasons Tire Ltd Auto Service Centre, was broken into. The thieves removed a sound system and car seats. The plaintiff's loss is the result of the defendant's negligence to provide secure storage while in possession of the plaintiff's motor vehicle. The following is a list of the items stolen as well as the damages to the plaintiff's car.
JBL 1200.1 MSRP $999.99
JBL 180.2 MSRP $349.99
Pioneer DEHP9300 Head Unit MSRP $1000.00
Reactive Racing Seats 72030 MSRP $1000.00
