I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Generally, parking lots with signs stating "Park at Your Own Risk" may limit their liability for theft or damage. However, this isn't absolute. Was there any security or surveillance in the parking lot?
there was no cameras nor security
I'm sorry to hear about your experience. In situations like this, parking lots often use "Park at Your Own Risk" signs to limit liability, but these aren't always ironclad. It might be worth checking your car insurance policy to see if it covers theft or vandalism. Did you report the incident to the police?
yes but they never showed up
It sounds like a frustrating situation. Since the police didn't show up, you might want to follow up with the local police department to ensure a report is filed. If you have comprehensive car insurance, it typically covers theft and vandalism. You might also consider consulting a local attorney to explore any potential claims against the parking lot.
