So, last week a technician from a satellite company came to work on my apartment's satellite. My landlord was with him on Monday the entire time he was there. However he also came back Tuesday to finish up some work. He was there at 8am when I left for work, and I spoke with him shortly, and nothing seemed off. My apartment was unlocked both days.
The week before this (so two weeks ago) on Tuesday I had place two $100 bills right beside my TV in a bowl. They were not hidden, and easily seen if standing near the TV. I placed them there because I owed my father $200 bucks, and I just put them there for the time being. I kind of forgot about the money until the following Tuesday after I got off work. (This is the same Tuesday that the tech was working on the satellite) I just had a feeling that I should check if the money was still there. It was missing. I looked through my entire apartment in case I moved it without remembering, and it's nowhere to be found. The only explanation I have is that the tech either took it Monday, without my landlord seeing, or Tuesday, going into the house on his own, when he was working on the satellite. I did not check for the money until it was already missing, so I cannot say for sure that it was there before the tech arrived, but that means someone else came into my house and stole it (not likely since I was home all weekend)
I called the company who the tech works for, and they said they are investigating, but I was wondering if there are any other avenues I can pursue to try to get my money back? I know it's kind of a weird situation since I didn't actually see the money get taken, but it is gone now, no longer in my house, and the only person to come in was my landlord and the tech. I know my landlord personally, as they are not just a landlord but a good friend, so I have no doubts there. She has spare keys to my apartment and everything, so yea, I'm not questioning the landlord. So I have to assume it was the technician. Anything I can do?
