Question:

31. The State of Anxiety has a criminal statute requiring that people lock their space saucers when they park them in public places. George Jetson carelessly leaves his keys in the ignition and his space saucer unlocked, when he takes his dog Astro to the park one day. Kibbles Enbitts steals the saucer, and goes for a “joy-fly” in it. Enbitts knocks over Mr. Spacely, who’s walking along a sidewalk. Spacely sues Jetson for negligence based on Jetson’s violation of the statute. Assuming Spacely can prove the statute was designed to protect pedestrians from being hit by stolen saucers, will Jetson be liable, in most jurisdictions? _________________
