I do not know exactly when it disappeared since yesterday was the first day I wanted to use it since I moved in about a month ago. I have searched every square inch (even my car) and its nowhere. What actions do I need to take now, besides reporting it to the front office? Should I file a police report? I really didnt want to jump to conclusions and say it was stolen, but ive looked everywhere, and the only people who have access to my apartment are me and maintenance. Have you had any friends or family members over to your apartment? How do you know it wasn't one of them? Sometimes, you find out that one of your friends/family members really isn't a friend afterall. It's happened to me before. Mr. Spindlelegs

Where I live they loose the report and that is why crime statistics are so low. Even if you find your camera it would be almost impossible to prove who stole it. The thief can say "I bought it from someone but I'm not telling who". Thieves know the legal system and they have the right to not tell. The legal system always has more important things to do. I felt guilty for reporting that my motorcycle was stolen. The thieves threatened me and the police lost the report. It wasnâ�?��?�t worth hurting or killing the theives and getting in trouble over. I was tempted and it took all I could do to restain from taking the law into my own hands. The criminal has a big advantage. I hope you get your camera back. Was it an expensive camera?

Originally posted by Andy W.: Unless you have undeniable proof they stole it, like you saw it that morning and not that night. You have nothing. They should have a sign out sheet for your apt keys. -Andy per most landlord/tenant laws they are required to notify you in advance if they will be coming into your apartment, unless it is a dire emergency like a water pipe busted and is leaking all over the place. if you can prove/theyll admit they went into your place that day, you could take them to small claims court. how much is your camera worth is the question? is it even worth the time and hassle? if anything, report it to the owner(s) of the building so they at least have it on file. you can also do what my neighbor did and change the locks and not give them a set of the new keys. (might cause trouble for you but it didnt for her. they just let her know in advance when they were coming and she would let them in). if you need to replace your camera pm me. i can hook ou up.
