Today, after my windshield wipers being stolen twice in a row, I decided to hide in my car to catch the thief. I fell asleep. When I woke up, the new wipers were gone. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I replaced my car's windscreen wipers, after someone stole the last pair. After I finished, I went indoors for a drink. When I returned, the new ones had been stolen too. FML
Today, I woke up to find my car broken into. After being upset for not hearing my car alarm go off I realized it had in the middle of the night. I had woken up and cursed the idiot who set off their alarm and put a pillow over my head, falling back to sleep shortly after. FML
Today, I woke up to the sound of my car being stolen. FML
Today, during my work shift, my car got stolen and I had to walk home on the rain. While I was walking home, my stolen car drove by. FML
Today, my car was broken into, on the same night I stayed up late researching how to install my new car alarm. FML
Today, I finally managed to sleep, after two days of being kept awake by the miniature floodlights my neighbors have installed to scare off burglars. Only a couple of hours into my sleep, I woke up to the sound of their car being broken into. FML
Today, I finally got enough money to buy the car I wanted for a year now. It was stolen today too. I had my car for 4 hours. FML
Today, someone stole my laptop from my car. However, they were nice enough to relock the doors after they smashed in the window. FML
Today, I parked my car to go inside to grab my wallet than I'd forgotten. In the short time it took me to do that, someone broke two of my car's windows. FML
Today, I parked three streets away despite the ungodly cold. I did this because in the past, on my street, I have had my car keyed, my tires slashed, and my side view mirror ripped off. When I went back out to my car, I found that someone had broken off my windshield wipers. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

How does something get stolen that easily? Wouldn't you have learned your lesson the !FIRST! time?

Wipers are quite easy to remove. My friend had his fly off when he was driving and he was only going about 30 miles an hour. I'm going to assume OP didn't think their wipers would get taken twice since it's an unusual thing to take. They did learn their lesson since they decided to sit in their car waiting for the person to take them. It's not like OP can do much to prevent their wiper blades from being stolen so back off.

OP's not a bright "spark" for falling asleep in the car.

You must be a heavy sleeper then
Ian7890 23
it's not that noisy or hard to take off windshield wipers, I think anyone would sleep through that

I agree with #43. besides.. they sound like a professional at this point!

As a mechanic, most cars wipers can be removed in seconds fairly quietly. Even the arms if one wishes to take those off too.

Ya better wash out more carefully next time

I wonder how stealing windshield wipers actually benefits anyone.....
Tuffmuffin 10
Maybe theyre just stealing them to piss op off?

Wipers for mi car actually cost around 30 bucks. And it's a 90s car.

16 that was my thought too, could be somebody who just has an issue with OP

#6, have you seen the price of windshield wipers lately? They don't come cheap. I can remember when they were about $2.00 a piece.
False_Stupidity 42
Depends on whether you're talking about just the wiper blades or the whole thingy. Just the blades can be gotten cheaply for $8 or so.

It's mean for them to swipe things like that.

As opposed to jewelry thieves and bank robbers that are nice?

They attempted a pun. It wasn't amazing but it's relevant to windscreen wipers :)

Park somewhere where a cctv camera is pointing, then if they get stolen ask the police to check the footage.
tonyfan00 38
That's a pretty good idea!
SweetasCandy0609 28
try putting camera's up where you park your car that way you also have proof with the video.

Perhaps op's camera will get stolen too!

#47 put the camera(s) in the car

But my question is, why steal OP's specific windshield wipers multiple times in a row? Someone must have had a very specific, frustration inducing revenge plot that they're obviously carrying out. Any summer storms coming soon to your area, OP?
coried91 28
I'm wondering the same thing unless one of OP'S friends is just ******* with their head.
PoisonOrchid 21
What if the wiper thief just knows they can get away with it on OP's car, so they keep doing it and its not personal at all?
soulreaper12296 28
Or they're doing it to piss them off. Or it could be a friend trying to play a prank on them.
