This assignment tests your understanding of Learning Objective #4- "Define and explain bailments."
Ferris and his best friend Cameron decided to skip school and go to an afternoon baseball game at Dodger Stadium. Ferris persuaded Cameron to drive Cameron's mother's restored 1972 Volkswagen Bus to the game.
On the way to Dodger Stadium Ferris went to a United States Post Office and sent his Omega Speedmaster watch via the United States Postal Service to Expert Swiss Watch Repair, a watch-repair shop in New York so it could be serviced. Ferris put his watch in a special box provided by the United States Post Office with instructions that it be sent by overnight delivery. The United States Post Office sent the box with the watch to Expert Swiss Watch Repair and it arrived safely and undamaged the following day. Before he sent the watch to the repair shop Ferris filled in an online order form describing the repairs he wanted performed; the online order form listed the prices for each service.
Cameron was worried that if they parked the VW Bus inside Dodger stadium it would be damaged, so they left the car at Joe's Auto Park, a private parking lot near Dodger stadium. Joe's Auto Park charges $50 for parking and provides a "shuttle service" to Dodger stadium before and after the game.
Joe's Auto Park's employee, Larry, assured Cameron that he was a professional and would take good care of the VW Bus. Cameron gave keys to the car to Larry, who said he would park it in a safe place. Cameron and Ferris took the shuttle bus to Dodger stadium where they watched the Dodgers beat the Angels 6-3.
As soon as Cameron and Ferris left Larry quit his job at Joe's Auto Park and drove off with the VW Bus. Larry drove the car up Highway 1 and eventually ended up in San Francisco, where he sold the car to The Orion Group, a criminal organization that ships cars overseas where they are sold with fake title documents. The Orion Group sent the VW Bus to Hong Kong and sold it to a member of the 14K Triad.
After the game Cameron and Ferris returned to Joe's Auto Park and were surprised to see that there was no one working. Their surprise turned to horror when they discovered that the VW Bus was nowhere to be seen.

If you believe a bailment was created, who was the bailor and who was bailee? If you believe a bailment was created, what were the duties of the bailor and what were the duties of the bailee?
