Re: car burglarized at an entertainment bldg

Make sure the parking lot is owned or leased by the club first before doing anything else. If so, it may be that they have no responsibility to protect your car and contents. If the area is high crime, and/or if there had been a number of similar crimes at the club in the past, then your chances are better.
