I have been asked by the local marina manager to see him in the office today. He ask me if I knew if someone found a wallet that has been lost by one of the members. I answered that I don't know anything about it. He said that they have CCTV footage and "they" think that it was me. I asked to see the footage. On the footage I did see the member opening gate with his pass, then me walking later on through that gate. I stop and scratch my left knee (arthritis) and walk forward. On CCTV video I did not see anything on the concrete and I stated that I did not find or pick anything up. My question is, does this classify as false accusation of theft? Personally I feel angry for the suggestion that I would steal someone's property. Now I feel that the other members may look at me as a thief. Where do I stand?
I would appreciate some advice.
