It's like if you pay for a car park and your car gets vandalised or stolen, I guess.

So the that the "dumb" girl gets some recompense for hanging up your coat.
It's a little different.
The bar actually took possession of the coat and it was lost whilst in their possession.
In a (typical) car park, you effectively abandon your car in a place where the public generally have free access.
Not really, it's like giving your car to valet and them handing out your car to someone else.

One of their mates liked the coat I bet 
Hope they pay for it mate

That sucks, but unfortunately their legally covered by having that sign there. You pays yar money, ya takes yar chances, as the saying goes
They're not legally covered just by having the sign there.
Negligence by staff can not be negated by signs.
wrong...
if the owner of the car park is negligent...best example i can think of is knowing for a fact a huge sign is about to come loose in wind and it falls onto your car, he knew it was going to happen but failed to act...his fault...
Those "we don't accept responsibility signs" are most of the time not worth anything!!!
I lost my coat in a nightclub once, had a ticket, went a bit mental at the staff being quite drunk.
Went round the next day, moaned some more, they tried to pie me off with another jacket! I told them to ram it, I don't want someone elses jacket!
Got a text from a mate a few days later, "Ehh I think I've got your jacket.." By sheer coincidence they'd handed out my jacket to someone I knew, and the one they tried to give me was a friend of mine. Lucky.
Still no idea how that happened.
Perhaps one of your friends lifted your jacket for you?
I don't know what was going through this guys head, but he must have been smashed, they were similar(ish) looking but I'm an extra large and he is a small!

Very true, its there to put off the people less inclined to challenge them. Surely they must have some sort of insurance, get a crime reference number or something. Cause a scene!!!!
Im a typical student, I go out in winter with just a tshirt and a shirt on top. I've got my beer jacket after all.
Sueing is dumb, I'd try and settle this out of court, I'd tell the manager you want £70 to cover the cost of your jacket. No need to get legal involved.
Well threaten to sue or pay me the cost of my jacket.
When I propose this to him what can I say to make him scared? You sign doesn't legally cover you?
Don't tell him you've googled it! Tell him you know it! First hand! You're a lawyer. For a big corporation. Infact, you're a hit man. Who moonlights as a laywer. And you know Tae Kwon Do! He won't put up much of a fight after that.
But honestly saying you "googled something" sounds abit :/ if you want to be taken seriously.
