Leave your (new) car in the East Parking Lot at Indian Hill South (IX) in a good wind. A couple of weeks ago during a rather nasty thunder storm, a large ammount of loose roofing gravel was blown off the roof onto some 30 unfortunate cars. The main damage was to windows, 15 or so being shattered. The expensive damage, however, was to the paint work. Cars were peppered with pin-head size dings and scratches, many exposing bare metal. Typical damage costs ~$1200 per car! My insurance company seems likley to fork out the $1700 to repaint my 1983 Scirocco, however I just wondered if either BTL, or more probably, the Landlord of the rented property, are liable?
