take "secure park" to court.

i have discussed this issue with my solicitor / lawyer friends (very good ones at that) and they say that the fee for parking means that the car park has a duty of care - especially since they are called "secure park"

Those waivers of liability that are plastered up in the car parks are NOT sufficient for them to waive their duty of care, and that as a defence would not stand up in court.

but, please speak to legal counsel before doing anything... i disclaim my thoughts as a suggestion only.

Good luck and we'll look out for it!

If the thief only needs to present a valid car park ticket on exit, then there is little that can be done to stop them from leaving the car park. Drive another stolen shitter car in, drive nice new stolen car out.

Doesn't mean you can't try!

Best of luck getting it back, in one piece... just curious, what sort of anti-theft protection did your car have? alarm? imobiliser? did you have a club-lock on at the time?

Sorry to hear about the loss! :)

But definitely take the company of the car park to court!

Once you take the parking ticket, then effectively you have transferred the property to them, so it is their duty to take care of it. In law i recall its called the Tort of Bailment...

Good luck with it!

      For both insurers I took floor plans and detailed photos showing the location from the street. They agreed that it was not visible from the street (nothing is, it's a completely opaque solid fence controlled by electric gates that people CONSTANTLY state they cannot access to deliver shit). There's basically a garage door or solid wall around the entire property line. They even agreed that if I put another roller door in they would consider it, in the same sentence agreeing it wouldn't make it more secure. Prior to this I had Shannons at my previous address - Their policy was over double what Famous were at the time. I'm a guy in my 40's with no licence suspensions (no demerits at all) and no claims. They just don't wanna know about it/don't want the business.

      True, but they can be flexible.  I was at a property for a couple of years without a garage and we worked around it by parking the car in the backyard under a car cover. The car was not visible from the front of the property. I don't know if you can work some magic like this at your current place? I only have great things to say about Shannons.
