Hundred… Nooru… Ek Sow…

I went to the floor supervisor and asked to check the security camera. (Luckily there was one above the counter that we had last stopped) When we went to the security room, we were informed that just that one camera had some fault and was not working (as luck would have it)!!! I raised as much hue and cry as possible and complained to the manager. He seemed unruffled and said perhaps the next day while cleaning the shop the bangle might be found (as if it would be handed, even if found!!!) I faithfully called him for the next 2 days. Since nothing happened, I went to register a complaint with the police station along with my colleague. We were asked to go from T. Nagar Police Station to Pondy Bazar Police Station. The constable (we had to wake him up from lumber land) made a fuss about what should go in the report, made me write and then re-write the whole story in Tamil and then asked me come back in the evening when the Sub-inspector would be available. If he is not authorized to collect a FIR why make the victim go through the charade of writing and re-writing the complaint??? We went back to work with some hot pagodas and cakes for my team. I came back in the evening to the police station. The sub asked me as to why I came alone to the police station and that too so late in the evening (BTW, the time was around 7.15 PM; If the Police station is not a safe place at 7.15 PM, then, where is Chennai heading to???) He told me that he could have helped me better if I had come to the police station as soon as the bangle was lost, since the tapes might have been erased by now. He said that the case would remain active and he would update us soon. Till this day, I have not heard anything from them.
