Camry tire questions (tires stolen from Chicago park district lot!) .

Edwards Finance > Loans

Q. Some close friends had a strange experience in Chicago: Their Camry was parked in the official parking lot of Garfield Park Conservatory run by Chicago Park District. It is supposed to have security. Whatever happened, their two passenger-side tires were stolen from the parking lot, in daylight on a Sunday afternoon! After a few anxious hours they were able to get an extra spare and somehow get home. They are a little shaken up, so I thought some advice from you guys will help them make good decisions Chicago questions: While the staff were nice and sympathetic... 1. If the lot is supposed to have security, are security guys "in" on such incidents? How else can people steal tires from a Park District lot next to a major tourist attraction? 2. Who do my friends contact for reimbursements/damages?

A. Because the guards are in on it? Because these theives...they're really good? Because they can. Maybe, or then again it could be they are lazy and just don't care Their insurance company- if there's a way to get money from the city/district they'd have the best knowhow. If it was an official lot that issued tickets check the back and there was probably be a disclaimer 'not responsible for lost/stolen...'. They coulld get a lawyer and try to challenge it but the fees would outstrip the replacement cost. I'm sure there are signs plastered everywhere saying "not resposible for anything lost or damage". The security guys are there to prevent people from using the lot and not paying or to prevent damage to their property, not yours.
