Question

A person left a bicycle at a repair shop, and the shop secured it with a lock at the entrance of the building and did not repair it for about a week. After a week, it was stolen. Is the repair shop liable to pay?

Answer

If the owner of the bicycle knew that this is how the repair shop keeps the bicycles it receives, the shop is exempt from paying.
