Sharif agreed to store Bartle's canoe for the winter months in a garage that was attached to his house. The next June, Sharif moved the canoe from the garage to a shed at the back of the house, "where it would be safer." The house and shed were later struck by lightning and burned to the ground. Bartle's canoe was destroyed in the fire. Sharif is liable for the loss of the canoe because he moved it from the garage.
