Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The university providing a parking lot where access is controlled by swiping an ID card does not establish a bailment relationship for the contents within the car, such as Sylvia's computer. A bailment involves the transfer of possession of personal property with an expectation of return or care, which does not typically extend to items left inside a parked car.
