I've got a got an odd one. Has anyone had a vehicle damaged, stolen or had to make a claim while your vehicle was in the possession of a shop? If so what was the outcome?
So a vehicle was taken to a shop to get work done, it was in their parking lot for a few days. The day they finally decided to bring it in and start working on it they discovered it was gone. Stolen....I'm not sure if a claim will be made cause it's an older vehicle only worth a thousand or so. It's been recovered and could be repaired for a few hundred bucks.

I'm just wondering if this might be covered by the garage policy of the shop the vehicle was parked at. I know at the shop I used to work at we had a mechanic plate like a dealer plate we would use to take customers cars on test drive, it had it's own insurance card so we were covered in case the customer had no insurance or transferred it to another vehicle during repairs. Of course most places wouldn't just come forward and offer to make a claim with their insurance company and take a hit with higher premiums etc.. and I'm sure there are signs all over the business saying leave and contents of vehicle at own risk so I guess they're probably sol.
