If you parked your car in a business parking lot and it happened to get stolen, is it the city or business that is responsible for that lot?
*Didn't happen to me, just had a dispute with the wife on who's land that would belong to. I say it's the business fault for not having proper surveillance and she says that its a city claim.

Generally it is not the responsibility of either. Most businesses ensure that at the entrances to their lots there are signs stating that you accept responsibility for your car when parking it in their lot and that they are not liable for loss or theft. It is never the responsibility of a business to ensure the security of your vehicle in a semi public parking area unless that is the specific purpose of the business. Additionally there is no "claim" to file other than with your insurance company if you have insurance against theft. You would file the stolen car report of course but there is no "claim" against the city. They are not going to pay you because your car was stolen.

Neither. No entity will take responsibility for a car being stolen in a parking lot; each posts signs waving responsibility

it somewhat is going to possibly say interior the numerous factors someplace that use of the carpark is at your guy or woman possibility, until it states that the owner is to blame for its risk-free practices. If he's to blame then you particularly've a achieveable declare, yet I by no ability lots doubt which would be case. in spite of the undeniable fact that, leaving autos unlocked will possibly unvalidate any claims anyhow I advise while you're paying for a house from the financial company and your motor vehicle gets broken into sat interior the driveway, you do no longer circulate to the financial company and say I is only no longer paying next month's loan do you. Its only hard good fortune i think of

The security of your car is your responsibility.

I would say neither the business or the city would be liable.
