on: At the bus stop I met my old friend, he asked me if I was willing to save the package for him until he returned from buying a product in a nearby store, I agreed, and I took the package, but i was wating a half an hour and I had already lost two buses, and my friend had not arrived and did not have his phone number, – I decided to get on the bus with the package, but unfortunately a compressor was suddenly formed on the bus, and that out of my control the package fell, And I heard a breaking sound, – later my friend caught up with me on the phone and asked for the package, and when I told him that its contents had broken demanded payment because it was an expensive crystal, etc., and that I did not have to get on the bus until he returned, am I obligated to pay?

: From the main law even a free guard who takes the deposit on the road, must even be raped, since he does not have permission to take it on the road, but in the case described you are exempt from payment, this is because the depositor is unable to ‘handcuff’ the guard for the deposit, and in addition when you boarded the bus there was no compressor, and did not enter a place where there would clearly be damage.   Sources and reasoning

Question:

At the bus stop I met my old friend, he asked me if I was willing to save the package for him until he returned from buying a product in a nearby store, I agreed, and I took the package, but i was wating a half an hour and I had already lost two buses, and my friend had not arrived and did not have his phone number, – I decided to get on the bus with the package, but unfortunately a compressor was suddenly formed on the bus, and that out of my control the package fell, And I heard a breaking sound, – later my friend caught up with me on the phone and asked for the package, and when I told him that its contents had broken demanded payment because it was an expensive crystal, etc., and that I did not have to get on the bus until he returned, am I obligated to pay?

Answer:

From the main law even a free guard who takes the deposit on the road, must even be raped, since he does not have permission to take it on the road, but in the case described you are exempt from payment, this is because the depositor is unable to ‘handcuff’ the guard for the deposit, and in addition when you boarded the bus there was no compressor, and did not enter a place where there would clearly be damage.

Attention: You should not learn from one case to another, each case must be analyzed individually. Generally speaking, it's always best to have contact with a Rabbi in person, not just virtual contact. Note that where there is a local Rabbi("Mara Deatra"), one should ask him. The answers are under the responsibility of the rabbi who responded, and not under the responsibility of the website and/or the Head of the Institution.
