So, 3000 dollars went missing from my father's shop.

My father owns a car dealership/auto repair, and today he asked me to fetch him some money from a drawer in a secure office. Upon checking, I found... nothing. No sign of the money at all. Now, the office was locked still and the windows seem secure, so we really have no idea what happened. I'm not sure if we should call the cops or what. Any thoughts on where to proceed from here?

But in all seriousness, don't touch anything and secure the room where that drawer is located. Also, double and tripple check that he's sure the money is supposed to be in there.
Does that room have a camera? Prepare to pull security footage if it does. Start pulling up information on who was working that day and who had access to that room from the last time he recalls putting the money in the drawer. Detectives are going to start asking questions like these so to speed things along, try to get them ready.
Wud yoo laek to lern aboot meatz? Look here!
And yeah, I realize we should probably call the cops. My father's just being stubborn on that for some reason or another. He seems to think it won't do any good due to there being no obvious signs of breaking and entering. I've been hounding him about it, but the best I've gotten is we'll report it missing if it does not turn up.
Well, he's made the decision. His shop, his call.
Are you entirely sure that that guy didn't take it?
Also, was the lock on the door a deadbolt or just the kind of lock you find on most doorknobs?

Standard lock. Not a very good system, I realize. My father is unfortunately very old fashioned.
Or the door was just unlocked, and then whoever stole the money locked the door on their way out.
Either way, the fact that the door was locked at the time you came in doesn't mean that nobody managed to enter the room. A locked door would only mean anything if you actually needed a key to lock the door, as with a deadbolt.

I mean, I hate to point fingers and all that. But...yeah...
Edit: By right before, I mean he was fired outside the building, and my father came back inside and told me to head into the office. But yeah, our former employee is currently my top suspect. I just feel a bit silly playing amateur PI.
Yeah, I do agree. But Esh is right in regards to it being my father's business and that he needs to call them if anyone. Unfortunately he's essentially retired for the night. So I'm not sure if anything will be done about it. Suppose it wouldn't hurt to try and bother him a bit more about it though, as I really think he's being kind of boneheaded about it.
Maybe invest in a safe or something.
but they're listening to every word I say
And yeah, it's really silly to just keep it in a drawer, but as the evidence seems to suggest, my father can be really silly for no good reason.
Yeah, I kinda wondered that too. I mean, if this was a tv show, we would find out that the dad has a gambling/drug habit.
