Problem:
Kendra and Ty had dinner at the Wine Cellar, an upscale German restaurant. Kendra left her coat with a coatroom check, but Ty took his coat to the dining room and hung it on a nearby hook. Upon leaving, Ty discovered someone had taken his coat. When Kendra went to claim her coat at the coatroom, it could not be found either. The attendant advised the coat must have been taken while she was on break. Kendra and Ty sued the restaurant, claiming that the restaurant was a bailee of the coats and had a duty to return them. Are they both correct? Use principles of law discussed in this week's reading to form a foundation for your response.
