1Opinion of the Court
KING, Senior Judge.
Appellant, Carolyn Mefford, appeals from an order granting summary judgment for the District of Columbia and denying her claim to recover for losses sustained when her property was stolen and destroyed while in the custody of the Metropolitan Police Department’s (“MPD”) property clerk’s office. Mefford contends that the trial judge erred in concluding: (1) that the District of Columbia was not grossly negligent in maintaining the property clerk’s office; and (2) that the District of Columbia was not liable under a theory of vicarious liability. We affirm.
