I believe my coworkers stole my camera.

I have a very clean house, always keep my silver hand held digital Nikon camera in my purse, never leave it laying around. When I came home from my last shift, I noticed my camera was missing. I checked my car, the couch cushions, every nook and cranny in my house (believe me) and it's nowhere to be found. I was not using it or playing with it at work either, and there are no lockers in the office where the women store their purses while they work. My coworkers gave me an especially hard time that day and were huddled together, laughing at me between spells of yelling at me, verbally attacking me, etc. and one of them disappeared into the office for a very long time. She is not a manager, but seems to enjoy pretending she is to look high and mighty. In retrospect, I think she might have tampered with the security cameras and gotten into my personal belongings and stolen my camera. It's a silver handheld digital Nikon. It's gone, which is completely bizarre.

Today I asked the store manager if he'd seen my camera anywhere and he showed me the cupboards in which lost things are usually stored, and I didn't see it but his tone was very clipped, quiet and sheepish as he said no, he didn't see it --- as if he had no clue what I was talking about. It seemed like he was going out of his way to play dumb/innocent. When I was sent on my 10-minute break, I went to the office to get my purse and dinner from the cooler and he looked at me when I was on my way there and asked "What are you doing?" (paranoid much?) and I told him I was taking my break and he said "....okay?" and moved along, but the office door was open with a chair blocking the entrance. Later, I asked another manager in charge if she'd seen it --- super sweet, not accusing anyone of theft and hypothesizing that it might've spilled out of my bag on my way out --- with the woman who was harassing me right next to us within earshot. Later, that woman kept hanging around, against the wall with her hands behind her back, doing nothing and she wouldn't look at me. I find it very odd. My dad seems to think they got my camera, too.

I'm just so upset right now, I don't know what to do or think. Precious photos from once-in-a-lifetime trips are there that haven't been loaded into my computer, that camera was a birthday gift and I'll never be able to afford another one. Even if gifted one, it won't make up for the memories now lost.

I am VERY careful with my belongings and never lose anything. I'm not careless, messy, disorganized, hasty or forgetful. That is my prized possession. I wouldn't have brought it with me if I didn't come on a whim because someone needed their shift covered, and I didn't come home with my camera. I noticed it was missing right away.

I'm just so very sad about all of this. I'm probably never gonna get it back.
