NYSC- den of thieves or incompetent security?

You decide.... Last Saturday I went to the New York Sports Club on 14th st. the "nicer" one to take a class. While I was in my hour long class my cell phone, a red LG shine that I purchased in May, was stolen off my son's stroller! (He well generally not be involved in my adventures in Hoboken posts for obvious reasons.) The 14th street club has babysitting from 8-12 everyday. So I park my stroller between the babysitting room and the front desk, for those of you familiar with the club there is only a supply closet seperating the two areas, I parked the stroller next to 3 or 4 others right next to the supply closet. When I came back from my class, i gathered my son and started to leave. On my way out the door I realized my cell phone was not next to my keys in the drink tray. After frantically going through my bags and stroller it became quite apparent that my phone was stolen. I then returned to the club to report it. The employee of course did not believe it was stolen, and I had the manager Richard actually say to me, its missing, there is no proof it was stolen. I then inquired into security cameras in the club, the logical conclusion being that they would have at least one trained on the front desk which was less than 3 feet from my stroller. They told me they have no such cameras (so for any nefarious theieves reading this post- hint hint NO SECURITY CAMERAS AT NYSC!!!) I then had to walk to the police station to fill out a report (Hoboken Police claimed to not have anyone to send to the scene of the crime). Prior to leaving I asked the manager Richard if he could put a sign up about the missing phone or a flier at the front desk. He told me he would have to speak with his General Manager. I said thank you and left. I then called a few days later to ask whether the phone had been turned in in the intervening days and if he had put out a flier. He said there was no phone in the safe and then blatantly REFUSED to leave a flier saying, that he was not allowed to post any fliers anywhere in the club that did not pertain to the clubs activities. He also made sure that I knew that the club was not responsible for lost or stolen items- thanks buddy i figured that out already. Altho I wonder if the club is responsible for items stolen by its employees??? I mean who else would be back by the supply closet/front desk? Def. somethign to think on...
