1. Peterson operated a private golf course. In 1964, he sold property next to the golf course, including a restaurant and parking lot, to AL. The parking lot was used by the golfers on Peterson’s golf course and by restaurant patrons. In 1978, AL sold the property containing the parking lot to VBC. Peterson had always maintained the parking lot. In 1992, VBC demanded Peterson pay rent for the use of the parking lot by the golfers. Peterson sued, claiming title to the parking lot by adverse possession. Is Peterson right?

2. Smith, a sales rep for Ziva, left $850,000 in jewelry in the trunk of his car when he took it to a car wash to be cleaned. Smith watched the procedure to make sure no one opened the trunk, but while it was being dried, someone jumped in the car, took off, and stole the jewelry. He sued the car wash for allowing the theft of his personal property. While the car wash had possession of his car, was it responsible for the jewelry?

3. Two boys were unattended by their father in a store. They took bicycles from the rack and rode them around in the store. One crashed and required stitches in his leg. His parents sued for premises liability because the bikes were not locked, there was no employee present to prevent use, and there was no sign telling kids not to ride bikes. Was the store negligent?
