Legendary Homes, a home builder, purchased various appliances from Ron Mead T.V. & Appliance, a retail merchant selling home appliances. They were intended to be installed in one of Legendary Homes’ houses and were to be delivered on February 1. At 5:00 on that day, the appliances had not been delivered. Legendary Homes’s employees closed the home and left. Sometime between 5:00 and 6:30, Ron Mead delivered the appliances. No one was at the home so the deliveryman put the appliances in the garage. During the night Shifty Sam stole the appliances. Shifty Sam subsequently sold the appliances, and Rosie purchased the appliances at a re-sale appliance shop. Legendary Homes denied it was responsible for the loss and refused to pay Ron Mead for the appliances. Ron Mead brought suit for the purchase price.
