Typically yes, but only to the extent they were negligent in thier "bailment" duties. If someone jumped a locked and gated fenced in area, etc....then they are no more liable than you would be if some broke into your garage anddid the same thing, as a general rule. Hopefully, you have comprehensive insurance coverage.
