Q: We left a passport in Nevada hotel.They shredded it after 30 days.This is going to cost my vacation 5000$Can I sue
We left our passport in a Nevada hotel,
We called them and they said they have it and gave us an Item number and we said we would come within 7 days and we came within 5.
Come to find out they shredded our passport and said it’s policy for 30 days.
We heard that it’s a 90 day policy on items like a passport, we have a vacation planned on 1/20/21 and it’s non refundable for 5000$ .
Can we do anything?
A: You can get a replacement passport. There are expedited services available to get one same day. As a result, your damages are zero, even if the hotel had a duty to preserve your property.
A: Get the passport on an expedited basis and if you incur any incidental costs you can sue them in small claims court.

A:
GET AN EXPEDITED PASSPORT.......THOUGH I DON'T KNOW HOW DIFFICULT THAT WOULD BE TODAY AND HOW SMART IT WOULD BE TO TRAVEL DURING THE AGE OF COVID.
IS TRAVEL AVAILABLE?
