Looking for a bit of advice here. My mountain bike was stolen from outside the local gym a couple of months ago. As it wasn't on my property I'm not insured, so I've written to the gym trying to claim some money back off them. They say that because there are signs up saying items are left at the owners risk that it's not covered, but they have given me 2 months free memership as a 'goodwill gesture'. However the signs only say that vehicles left in the car park are left at owners risk. Is my bike classed as a vehicle? Also it was locked to their bike rack which is on the path away from the car park. All technicalities I know, but I've been arguing with them for a couple if months and want to know if its worth threatening to take legal action, and how I'd go about doing that. Cheers :)
