Stolen Moped

VeVeX

A workmates moped was stolen from work last week. It was parked beside the security hut in the car park. Aparently the guys that robbed it waved a pole at the security blokes so they bravely stayed in the hut whimpering.

It was one of them Gilera (spelling) 180cc jobbies. Needless to say my mate hasn't got it back and some nacker its probably flying around on it now with his baseball cap at 90 degrees.

The job has basicly said tough cookie and are under no obligation to look after him money wise.

The is one of them "if anything goes missing tough look" signs. Does anybody know what's your position in regards to thefts like this ?

BTW as most will know bikes are not insured for theft so insurance is not an option.

Verdammt

Sorry to hear that. I personally think that he should take it out on the security guards. Give them a good kicking and that'll learn them.

I vaguely(sp?) remember that those "XYZ left at owners risk" or " Managment accepts no responcabiliy (sp?)" are illigal.

You're friend may have a case.

I'm sure some boardsie legal weasel will have a better idea.

No, I doubt he has a case in any such situation, the employer didn't ask him to bring his moped to work. There are a lot of precedents for courts denying such cases.

The only responsibility an occupier (in this case the employer) of a premises is essentialy to ensure it is safe (Occupiers Liability Act).

I would however question the security guy not phoning the cops.

what the **** are the security guards being payed for?:rolleyes:

I believe the insurance of the business should pay for this incidence as the bike has been stolen and the security ppl didn't or "couldn't" do anything about it. Plus it wasn't even on the open road, it was on the premises
