The fact remains: by leaving valuables in the car, the driver deprives himself of the opportunity to secure property in the cabin. Despite the fact that video cameras are installed at car washes, it is far from always possible to catch a thief who, for example, climbed into an abandoned bag or twisted a radar detector. And as the owner of the car in the wash bay, checking the work of the employees of the complex, as a rule, is not allowed by the regulations.
Meanwhile, the “Protection of Consumer Rights” law assumes “property liability for damage caused by lack of service”, which must be fully compensated. But in the case of a car wash, the same service only directly relates to the car and is not actually applicable to other properties. That is, in case of damage to the car during the bath procedures, the damage is subject to compensation, and if things are lost – alas.
Firstly, if the administration had taken responsibility for the safety of the items left in the cabin, they should have been described in the appropriate certificate of acceptance. Q: Why does management need this? And secondly, this very management is simply afraid of becoming a victim of fraud by the customers themselves. For example, if the latter report that a laptop or a diplomat with cash has disappeared from the trunk, which were not in sight.
That is why the law allows washing machines in the process of providing services not to be responsible for the safety and at the same time the integrity of things left in the car, if, as already mentioned, we are not talking about the car itself.
Therefore, the best way to avoid the problems associated with property theft from the interior of a car at a car wash is to avoid leaving any valuables in the car. If you discovered the loss, and the administration just shrugged, immediately report the theft to the nearest police and at the same time report the incident to the remote control 112. Unfortunately, however, one cannot count on a positive outcome of the case in our country .
