I think the trial court properly entered the summary judgment for the defendants in this case. This is not a situation in which the defendant should be held liable for the criminal act of a third party. See, e.g., Moye v. A.G. Gaston Motels, Inc.,499 So.2d 1368 (Ala. 1986); Stripling v. Armbrester,451 So.2d 789 (Ala. 1984); and Parham v. Taylor, *Page 865 402 So.2d 884 (Ala. 1981). Moreover, the evidence concerning the alleged disappearance of the jewelry was speculative and conjectural. Under these circumstances, the summary judgment for the defendants was proper.
