Tom's girlfriend handed her expensive winter coat to the attendant at the restaurant coat-check. She did not disclose to the attendant that she had placed three $100 bills in the inner pocket of the coat. Does the bailment exist of the $300?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A bailment does not exist for the $300 because the attendant was not aware of the money's existence, and thus did not knowingly take possession of it.
