Bailment limits on lost coats and money in shops
A court ruled a customer could not claim loss of a raincoat from a luncheonette without a bailment relationship. Bailment exists if possession transfers to the establishment or its agent. Cash found in a pocket is recoverable, but a valuable ring in a coat may not be, as it is not part of bailment. American Bar Association public service by Will Bernard.
