My wife and I arrived 40 minutes before check in ...

My wife and I arrived 40 minutes before check in were told to go and get some lunch in the buffet then come back and room would be finished. Long story short we were the only people sitting in that area I put my wallet on table and left it for 10 minutes till I realized what I did. We then returned to the table and waiter said there was no wallet, as soon as we got up he said good bye and started clearing our table again we were the people eating in that section and he was the only one working that area and say no wallet found. No hotel staff seemed that concerned would not even let me talk to security I said I wanted to see cameras was told there were none. They were like maybe you are mistaken but even my wife saw me put there. They tell me nothing to worry about. Never got it back. They would not even talk to the waiter. They keep saying maybe you did not have it. Maybe there waiter is a thief and they dont care.
