Attorneys argue that a loophole in a California law allows hotels to avoid paying actual damages to guests.
We're getting a firsthand look at a fencing operation for stolen goods, showing what happens after all car break-ins we've seen across the Bay Area.Sabouni said his luggage -- which included a Briggs & Riley rollaway bag, a Tumi leather backpack, an iPad Pro, a MacBook Pro, a 4TB hard drive with his social security number and seven years of tax documents -- was nowhere to be found.
"Remarkably, the Marriott let the guy walk into the back room. He pointed at my bags and said those are mine ... The guy said, 'Is there any way you can prove it? Do you have tickets? Do you have ID?' And the guy said, 'I have none of that,' but just mentioned there's a computer in that bag." Sabouni said.Sabouni said in the weeks that followed, the hotel was unwilling to compensate him for his losses unless he provided receipts for every item.
According to the court judgment, Ross highlighted the fact the law is outdated, saying in part this statute Wilcox said prices of goods and services have multiplied by 20 to 25 since this law was first enacted in 1872. Yet, in 2022, hotels in California are liable for items up to $1,000 -- at maximum.
Sabouni valued his stolen items to be worth nearly $8,400. But according to Marriott's trial brief, the hotel was only legally liable for $500, due to this statute.
