A bailment claim is what seems to fit best, at least if you want access to the deep pocket.
And UGA, making people pay for their wrongs isn't exactly a new thing. I guess you can continue to ignore me when I explain to you that the 3-million figure is in no way representative of what the plaintiff will probably end up with... but I guess it offends you that anyone ever has to compensate another person for a dignity tort?

$3 million is just the starting point Kevin:
"The suit seeks no less than $1 million for outrage; no less than $1 million for public disclosure of private facts; and, no less than $1 million for casting the Shermans in a false light."
PLUS damages:"The suit seeks damages to be determined by a jury for negligence and negligent supervision."

However, if this is only a hoax/shakedown, wonder what will happen?
