Judge Rules For Garage In Theft Case
The Idaho Supreme Court upheld Park Price Motors of Pocatello in a 1969 theft case. It ruled the garage must prove it exercised reasonable care to safeguard a car left for repairs. Park Price did so, thus the plaintiff's claim failed. The decision sets that garages bear risk only if they show reasonable safeguards were in place. The ruling was written by Justice Charles Donaldson in Boise.
