Ehh, for a lot of people $500 is the "I'd rather just move on" amount.
If that happened to me I would move on, particularly because you don't know the criminals here and whether they'd seek retribution if you made a police report.
If someone roofied you, they'd probably be willing to do worse things to you if you hassled them. Just some advice; speaking from life experiences.
Yeah that's not just $500 down the tube, that's a whole lot of other violations on top, and very serious regardless of the money. Definitely something to report ASAP.
Yup what if they stole some keys or garage clicker to rob you later or other personal info to do some identity theft? Better have a police report to cover your ass at a minimum.
