Mate watch you language please, there is no need of it in these forums.
Regarding CCTV, old video tape systems recording on VHS are usually kept for about a week due to amount off tapes you have to store, on new HDD systems it can be stored as long as the HDD capacity allows, usually it is up to about a month and then it loops and rewrites same space, but if there is any thing you want to keep you can burn it on CD or DVD.
There is no law saying that you must have CCTV system in operation unless for example local council in issued licence specified so.
It's not surprising for me thay they din't have it, many venues although they have the system, they don't have anybody taking care of equipment, so effectively it is not working or working poorly, so if police asks they rather say they din't catch anything on it instead of admiting it wasn't working, because for example tape wasn't there, it is sad but true and common.
But most important however, is that your coat, or bag if not left in the cloakroom is YOUR OWN RESPONSIBILITY, and most of the venues will inform about it on separate board at the entrance, otherway anyone could sue them for his/her own recklessness.
