Question:

While Rouse was looking at new cars at a dealership, he gave his car keys to a sales rep so that his car could be examined for its trade-in value. When Rouse decided to leave without buying, the keys were hidden from him-supposedly lost-for about a half hour. The sales rep thought this was a joke. Rouse sued and was awarded $5,000 in punitive damages. What was the tort claimed? Would the damages be allowed on appeal? [Russell-Vaughn Ford v. Rouse, 206 So.2d 371, Sup. Ct., Ala. (1968)]
