That's fair. And some internet searching suggests they are only liable if the thief was an employee or there had been recent prior thefts that they did not make patrons aware of. Caveat - I'm a scientist, not a lawyer.
The police have him on video from the store he used my cards at. The gym doesn’t have cameras in the locker room.
Just thinking about it caused me to raise some questions in my head.
Was it just your locker that was broken into? If so why did they choose yours? You have to ask if it was an inside job……perhaps someone working there? Or could they’ve noticed you watch?
Was there someone present when you put your stuff in the locker?
It must take some premeditation to have the means of cutting the lock handy doesn’t seem like something you’d carry around for the off chance the you might have the opportunity to use it
I think that 95%+ of the people in the world are fundamentally good individuals. It's that other 5% that challenges my faith in humanity.

Way, way lower, imo, most people will steal if they feel they can get away with it. There are great humans, but overall humanity is a pretty dismal project.!

5% being bad is more than enough to keep millions of attorneys employed world-wide. 😉
Well, I can't agree with that. I've met many more good people, including many on this forum, than I have of the other variety. Maybe I'm just fortunate and/or naive, but I think that most people try to do the right thing.

Let me supply another take, a sort of variation on the 80/10/10 rule: if 10% of people are "good" and 10% of people are (err...) "bad," and that leaves a huge number of people in between those extremes that are various shades of gray with various willingness to steal if they think they can get away with it.
The book Ordinary Men, by Christopher Browning (highly recommend it), is all about this. The author firmly believes most folks are susceptible to the pressure of a group setting, and committing actions they would never do of their own volition.
