Defendants accepted plaintiff's instructions to return the uncollected containers and remained responsible under the original bills of lading and as bailees; the April 19 2004 letter did not terminate that responsibility; defendants failed to prove they had parted with possession without negligence or to identify a valid delivery event for time‑bar reliance, and therefore are liable to plaintiff for the value of the lost goods and ancillary sums.
