What happens if the bailee denies knowledge of the property bailed when it is demanded from him and the bailor provides evidence of the bailment and makes a claim for its return?
If the bailee denies knowledge of the property, but the bailor can produce evidence of the bailment and a claim for its return, the bailee will be held liable for the property. Even if the bailee alleges that he returned the property or that it was damaged without any wrongful act on his part, no evidence of its return or damage will be accepted from him.
