A motorist was driving along a narrow, winding road when his car ran out of gas. Because the road had no shoulders, the motorist pushed his car onto the driveway of a landowner. Finding no one home at the house, the motorist started walking toward a gas station he had passed a mile back. While he was gone, the landowner returned and found the car in his driveway, with two of its wheels partially on his flower garden. Although the landowner had not posted any "no trespassing" signs, he believed he had the right to remove the car from his property. The car was unlocked, so he released the parking brake and pushed the car back onto the edge of the road, and then reset the brake. Before the motorist could return, a truck had sideswiped the car, damaging it. Can the motorist recover against the landowner for the damage to his car?
