Am i misunderstanding the story? Shouldn’t the navy be on the hook as well?
Every one who handled it should be on the hook. The problem as far as correction is all the ones involved were likely civilian employees or contractors. Meaning if they screw up not much happens unless they own the company.
I can not believe the storage company did not know about the legalities involved though. Any company doing business either with service members or those contracted for such by the military on their behalf knows about the sermembers civil relief act. It seems the Commander made it an issue which is great. Their needs too be accountability and immediate correction.

1. The government is never wrong.
2. See rule #1.
I think there is some rule that a service person cannot sue the Navy. I’m not sure, so please correct me if I’m wrong.
Navy on the hook, too? Why? Because this idiot reporter wrote the following line without attributing it to the storage company’s attorney as to why his client is blameless:
“Navy officials stopped paying for her storage in 2010 and told the West Bend company it could sell off the goods”
Good grief. Use some common sense. I would bet when you whip open your parked car door and ding the car next to you; it is the other guys fault for leaving his car to close to where you would be parking 20 minutes later...
