Stolen Vehicle
Location: Lakewood CA
My car was stolen yesterday from the UCI Health Hospital in Lakewood. I’m an employee at the building that shares the land w the hospital. My employer and his business has contracts with the UCI administration. I park my car in the same garage as all the other employees and patients do. It’s not a gated garage but it has security cameras and UCI health has a hired security company which patrols the garage everyday, couple times a day. Parked it in the morning came out during lunch time and it wasn’t there. And yes you guessed it, it’s a Hyundai. Called police right away, filed a vehicle report, and I spoke w the security supervisors. They told me they’ll look for the footage. I called them back hours later and they said they found footage of the car coming in and going out. Great. Asked them to call the sheriff’s office and have a deputy come and obtain it since I’m not allowed to receive it. They called me back and said “after discussing what the footage showed, the sheriff’s department decided not to obtain the footage.” I’ve been going back and forth w the sheriff’s office asking why they won’t obtain it to which they responded “it’s not workable” meaning if it doesn’t show a face they don’t want it. But if they’re doing an investigation wouldn’t they want all the evidence they can get??! I was parked on the 3rd floor meaning the car went through 3 security cameras before exiting!!!! I’m going nuts over why they won’t even send someone to at least look at the footage! They’re simply going off of hearsay!!!! I feel like they have an inside connection to someone from this security company and they’re trying protect his ass. Even if the footage doesn’t shows a face (according to the secure company) it could very well show which turn the car took and into which street. And from the they can look at the cameras on the streets to track it down. This still helps my case!! I don’t understand the pushback. Idk what to do. If I had full coverage I could shut my mouth up and move on but sadly that is not my case. Any legal advice?
Please and thank you.
