A contractor left a pickup truck unlocked with the keys in the ignition outside a downtown jobsite overnight. The jobsite had recently experienced several vehicle break-ins, and police had warned nearby businesses about thefts of work trucks. A thief stole the truck, sped away, and struck a pedestrian three blocks away.
In the pedestrian's negligence action against the contractor, which statement best describes proximate cause?

Choose the Best Answer

The contractor is liable only if the thief was the contractor's employee. The contractor may be liable if the theft and reckless driving were among the foreseeable risks created by leaving the truck unlocked with keys in the ignition in that setting. The contractor is liable only for damage to the truck, not injuries to any person. The contractor is not liable because criminal acts always supersede negligent conduct.
