My car was broken into at night club while security watched and did nothing?

You should immediately subpoena the club for that security tape showing the theft. Then, take that tape to the police.

If the person(s) are convicted, you can ask for restitution (the cost of the goods stolen, broken window, etc.). You will probably need an attorney to send the subpoena.

Of course, whether it would temporary or permanent would depend on the facts of the case. Also, whether he would even be considered by the court to award him temporary or permanent custody also depends on his circumstances, also.
