A New Jersey appeals court declined to recognize a claim against grocer Whole Foods for vandalism to a store employee’s car in the parking lot of its shopping center, even though the store told the employee specifically where to park.

A two-judge Appellate Division panel, reversing a Special Civil Part ruling below, said Whole Foods should not be held partially responsible for the damage caused to the car owned by its employee, Tanisha Lane, while she was at work.
