Answer:
C received a check in form of a loan from an aunt. After some time the aunt wrote on a Christmas card that states to keep the money with no return.

However, the Christmas card is very vague and doesn't mention the amount of money, it could have been other money that C 's aunt gave him besides the check.

Facts
1) Plaintiff is suing defendant, operator of parking lot, after plaintiff's car was stolen from their parking lot which closed at 6 pm. The lot had a limitation of liability clause for losses due to theft.
2) Trial court held for plaintiff. Defendant appealed.
Relevant Terms, Laws, and Cases
Limitation of liability clause - provision in contract that limits liability amounts in case of breach of contract.

Appeal court affirmed the decision.
The limitation of liability clause was invalid in this case. The court held that for a bailment of an item, the car, limitation of liability must be notified to owners prior to the bailment. In this case, the ticket which had the clause was not read by plaintiff and a sign that wrote lot closes at 6 pm had did nothing to inform plaintiff of assuming risk of theft.
