I recently discovered unauthorized ATM withdrawals from an account I rarely use. The amounts were small ($40-100) over several months. I searched for my ATM card to this account and could not locate it. I called my bank and they put the money back, pending an investigation.

I suspect the culprit may be my new room mate.

My question is: Since the ATM that was used was actually in my own bank, will they call me in to identify the surveillance footage for those days? AND, will I get any of the money back that I did not notice months and months ago, or just the money that was taken in the last two days of my reporting it missing?

In the US, the bank won't provide you with footage, as that would subject them to liability if you decide to go vigilante. Also, keep in mind that the quality of the footage is often ridiculously bad.

Call the police.
