I posted in another thread about an issue that my brother has been facing with his insurance company and getting them to pay out for a hit and run that totaled his car a few months ago.
The plot thickens. He came home on leave over the holidays. When he got back to Ft. Lewis and went to check on his car (being held at a local body shop) someone had broken into the car by stabbing two giant holes in the convertible top, and stole everything in the car, including the performance cold air intake that was actually installed on the vehicle.
The body shop is claiming they are completely not liable for the theft. They have cameras that over look the parking lot that his car was in but refuse to show him the tapes. Fishy!?
So basically, the car won't be released to him because of the insurance, the shop isn't taking responsibility, and he is out hundreds of dollars in personal property? Who is liable?
