The 1st defendant parked the vehicle on the roadside for his own convenience, exposing it to known risk of theft and thereby failed to exercise the degree of care required of a bailee; accordingly he is liable in negligence for the loss and the plaintiff is entitled to damages measured by the vehicle's market value ($130,000) plus interest and costs.
