My family and I had dinner at mall restaurant after about 1 hour we left to find 2 tires had been knifed and front to back of drivers side panels were knifed several times. dinner 5-6 pm, complete daylight. ALL cameras are down simutaniously being upgraded, had they been working vandals would have been seen most definately.

No. It is incongruous that you would think the mall responsible. If they were not negligent, then you need to suck it up and call your insurance company.

No...and the mall most likely has posted around the parking lot that they are not liable for theft or vandalism.
It is possible that if the mall is in a high crime area they could be liabe but this works both ways.
You will argue that they had a duty to protect the car because the the crime.
They will argue that you assumed the risk by parking the car in a high crime area unless you wereb assured by them that it would be safe.

Geez, aren't we becoming a lawsuit happy society? I don't think you have any reason to blame the mall. Maybe you could blame the restaurant, how about the police they weren't there either and we pay their salaries. It was broad daylight so why not sue everyone else in the mall for not seeing them. Lets say the cameras were on and you did get to see them but they ran away before they could be caught and no one knows who they saw since they wore ski masks. Maybe we could sue the people who made the ski masks. I wish you better fortunes in the future but before you sue anyone please consider if they actually did anything that caused your misfortune directly. If not, leave them alone.

No. Probably there are signs posted that you are parking at your own risk. If not, you would have to prove that the non-operational cameras aided in the damage to your car. Most vandals caught on camera are never identified anyway.

Your motor vehicle window did not get broken because of the fact it grew to become into parker added from the construction than different autos. Proximity or distance from the construction does not reason spontaneous window breakage. Your window grew to become into broken by potential of a man or woman (maximum in all probability) who grew to become into an fool, a jerk, and an entire moron who had no appreciate for different individuals's assets...the mall won't be able to administration stupid human beings. (may well be super in the event that they could - yet regrettably stupid anybody is authorized to run unchecked by using our society, making existence depressing for the rest individuals.) The mall isn't responsible for the wear and tear - the guy who broke that's.

Doubt it unless they have some sign posted saying cameras for your protection or something. but that's just common sense, you may very well have a case in a country where you can sue because you spilled coffee and the cup didn't warn you it was hot.

Probably not.
Chances are, there is a sign out there, somewhere that says they are not liable for any damages to vehicles parked in that lot.

Did you see any signs that said management not responsible stolen or damaged vehicles.
It totally sucks that happened to you, but I am sure they have some crap somewhere warning they are not responsible.. Check with your auto insurance.. Will they cover your damages?

I would look into seeking damages if they use their use of cameras as a lure for customers. If they lure customers by saying they have video surveillance and did not, I might follow up.

No.
You have no case for negligence, negligence per se, or complicity.
Call your insurance company and deal with it and stop trying to blame other people for your misfortunes.
