It happened in broad daylight on their grounds, and now I am finding out that there might not have been a security guard around that day. If anybody knows what I should do or if there is any one who is possibly a lawyer reading this what are my rights???

Unfortunately your employer isn't responsible. Most lawyers won't take your case or it will cost you more in legal fees to fight it than just paying the $500 deductible. Only way your employer would pay is if it is their company vehicle. Doesn't matter about the security guards, because they aren't there to protect your interests they are there to protect the company or owner of the property's interests. Your best bet is to just suck it up & pay the deductible. Maybe ask if your employer is willing to pay for part of it, you might be suprised & they may agree to pay part of it.

They are not obligated. You took the risk by driving your car to work then parking it. Usually the only time someone else is responsible is if you parked in a parking garage and that they gauranteed security, but that is rare.

a guard is like a screen window. it will only stop the honest people. the guard can not be everywhere at once. you could ask your company about it's insurance, i think it will end up being a lesson learned the hard way . never leave your valuables in the car .

Generally no because it is your private property. Most work places don't even have security and the reason for the security is not to protect their employees cars it is to protect the businesses property. But you can always check with your boss to get their take on it.

You may want to ask your employer if they can report it to their insurance company, I am sure they must have commercial insurance on the property, I don't know if it will cover the employees cars, but it doesn't hurt to ask. I would also advise you to decrease your comprehensive deductible to say $50 to $100 in this day in age.

They have no obligation to cover your loss, the same as a grocery store is not responsible for your car in their parking lot, niether is your employer

Doubtful you can do anything. Many employers do not even provide security for parking areas.
