OPINION
HATHAWAY, Judge.
Appellant [hereinafter bailor] brought an action against appellees [hereinafter bailee] for conversion and breach of contract. The jury returned a verdict awarding bailor $4,000 compensatory and $5,000 punitive damages. The trial court granted bailee’s motion for judgment n. o. v. under Rule 50(b), Rules of Civil Procedure, 16 A.R.S., reducing the award to $100 compensatory damages. Bailor appealed from this judgment. Assuming the judgment n. o. v. was improper, bailee raised the cross-issue of whether the jury properly awarded punitive damages.
