i locked my mountain bike onto a private fence of a brownstone. i left it there a while--overnight--the next day it was gone. turns out the owner of the brownstone had clipped the lock and taken the bike. i called him, he said he had the bike and would be happy to return it. he did. problem is he must've taken a fit on the bicycle. brakes cut, crank shaft busted--just a mess. i couldn't even ride it home. it was a very expensive bike and i think what he did was wrong. i only left it there 24 hours. no signs were posted. nothing was viewable that told me i couldn't lock my bike onto this fence. can i sue for the damage to my bike?
