Duties of the Bailee. Alicia owns a valuable speedboat. She is going on vacation and asks her neighbor, Maureen, to store the boat in one stall of Maureen's double garage. Maureen consents, and the boat is moved into the garage. Maureen needs some grocery items for dinner and drives to the store. She leaves the garage door open while she is gone, as is her custom, and the speedboat is stolen during that time. Discuss the standard of care traditionally required of the bailee, and determine whether Maureen breached that duty. (See pages 671-672.)
