The thing that sucks about investigating is seldom do businesses want to get involved with disputes that don't concern them directly, even if it happened on their property.
Had two instances of this:
One where my car back in college (G35) was vandalized by drunk kids shooting air soft guns at my apt. complex that had a contract with my university & housed students only. One would think they would use a good amount of their resources to protect its students but they refused to release or even review the surveillance video & declined to comment on the issue. Good thing insurance still covered the vandalism.
The other time was not car related but i had my cash voucher stolen from me at a casino table and when i reported it, the security told me they reviewed the footage and can confirm the person that did it, but refused to let me see it or to use it as evidence to press charges. Cops came & basically told me to kick rocks as the only evidence i had was property of the casino. It wasn't a huge sum of money, but it was very disappointing in virtue.
Its a cold world out there. I was still young when both of those events happened, but what it taught me from that point forward is that surveillance cameras (or security measures in general) are out to protect the owners of the property where the cameras are installed, not its visitors, customers, etc. Still worth a try as here are people with goodwill out there, but i wouldn't walk up to the management expecting it.
Good luck.
