The plaintiff purchased an RV from the defendants and left it at their dealership for storage until his campsite was ready.
The RV was stolen from the dealership's lot.
The plaintiff sued the defendants for negligence as a bailee.
The court found that the defendants were a gratuitous bailee and therefore only liable for gross negligence.
After reviewing expert evidence on the dealership's security system, the court concluded the defendants met the requisite standard of care and dismissed the action.
