You really messed up. I would suggest using EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard. I have tried it a few times and it work pretty well. Avoid copying any data onto the stick as it will replace the data you want to recover. There's nothing much you can do here unfortunately.

Did they press the button of letting Windows scan the disk?
The disk probably wasn't unmounted properly when you removed it from your PC. This is not a big deal. Sometimes a prompt comes up asking you to scan the device when you connect a unproperly unmounted USB device to another Windows PC. If you press scan, the PC will run Checkdisk (chkdsk) to attampt to "repair" the problem. Sometimes it fails and removes the data. If they would have pressed "don't scan" everything would have been fine, so technically they wiped the drive.

So, what to do know? Firstly, don't touch the USB drive anymore. Don't connect it to PC's, don't format it, don't even look at it the wrong way  
You have to ask yourself the following question:
How important is the data?
If the data is extremely important, like 800$ important, then I would contact a local data recovery company.
If the data is less important, you can attempt to rescue it by using data recovery software, by following a guide similar to this one:
