Bank deposits money, then steels it back from me....

Bank receipts aren't gospel. The receipts usually say the transaction is subject to later holds and corrections. That way you can't come back with a receipt for 40,000.00, because your teller added a couple of extra zeros to your 400.00 deposit. It happens. It does give the people who search an idea of where to look.

The way banks process is nightly, and things shake out then. But here's the biggie for me in this post -- the proof department came back and said a missing CHECK. Sounds like someone lost a cash in ticket.... and if the teller balanced that night, and the next morning didn't -- there's the issue.

But we'll never know, since the OP wrote the post, checked the next day, and hasn't been back. Probably issue was resolved.

I understand that they're not gospel, but it seems to me that the first thing you would do is take the receipt in. Not call, not wait for them to call you back, but just take it in.

And you're right, it does seem like it should have been caught that night ... that's an awfully big discrepancy. I can't figure out how the teller would have balanced?

I hate unexplained mysteries ... wish the OP would come back and tell us what happened!
