The appellants appealed a trial decision regarding a stolen backhoe that police recovered and turned over to the respondents for storage.
The appellants argued the respondents had a duty to investigate the ownership of the backhoe.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, upholding the trial judge's conclusion that the police, not the respondents, had the responsibility to investigate ownership.
The Court also found no error in the trial judge's credibility assessments.
