Today, I biked to the store to buy a new lock, since biking is my only form of transportation. I left my bike unattended for the last time, only to come back with a new chain, but no bike. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I rode my bike to the store because I only had a few things to pick up. When I walked back out after five minutes, my bike was stolen. I had gone to the store to buy a new bike lock. FML
Today, I decided to bike to work. I normally forget the key to my lock, so I leave it out back and hope that nobody takes it, and nobody does. I finally remembered my lock key so I chained it up. After my 7 hour shift, I walk to the back only to find the lock had been cut, and my bike was gone. FML
Today, I decided to get some exercise for the first time in months. I went to the store and bought a brand new bicycle and all the necessary paraphernalia. I drove a half hour to a bike trail, unloaded the bike, and started riding. 10 feet later, the chain snapped. FML
Today, I came home from work to find the lock to my bike busted and my bike stolen. The worst part was a nicer bike was sitting right next to it without a lock. FML
Today, my bike got stolen because I left my keys in the lock. On my way home, I saw my bike in front of a store, unlocked. I jumped on it, only to get punched in the face by the guy that had taken it, and got it stolen from me again. FML
Today, I lost the key to my bike lock. I ended up having to cut it off, even though it was brand new. After spending 30 minutes hacking away at it, it finally came off. When I hopped onto my bike, I felt something poking my leg. My key was in my pocket the whole time. FML
Today, my bike was stolen. Partially. Since I always locked it up, some asswipe thought it would be funny to steal the handlebar stem and the seat, leaving the actual handlebar dangling by the brake cables. Since there was no way to steer or sit, I had to carry my bike one mile back to my dorm. FML
Today, I went to retrieve my stolen wallet from a train station. After I collected it, I returned to the place where I'd parked my bike, only to find that my bike had been stolen. FML
Today, I saw my bike locked outside a Starbucks down the street from my house. It was stolen about 10 days ago from my communal laundry room. There was even a cop parked across the street, but I have no proof to show that bike even belonged to me. FML

That sucks OP. Hopefully the place had cameras so the police can track down whoever stole it.

I guess you can say it's a vicious cycle

Why didn't you just roll the bike into the store with you?

Because that makes waayyy too much sense! And the thrill of running into the store, getting what you need(just so happened to be a new lock), and getting back to bike as fast as possible would be gone

Perhaps, and this is just a small possibility, the store wouldn't allow it. I know that all of the stores in and and around my neighborhood have rules against bringing your bikes and such inside the store. They have to be left outside in the appropriate area.

That's a good way to get kicked out of the store, most likely.

Most stores would have such a policy, but if he bought the lock in a bike store, they usually don't mind bikes inside of the store.

Then he gets kicked out. It's not like he will get in serious trouble. That chance really doesn't justify leaving it outside. Perhaps if he was stopped he could just explain.

I'm a small town farm boy, so this makes no sense. Why steal a bike? What's the purpose?

Bikes are expensive. So they steal it to either sell it or keep it and use it.

Maybe they stole it to eat it. Don't judge them.

So you can get one without paying for it, the same reason you steal anything.

You have to steal a bicycle to beat the level 12 boss; otherwise, it's a huge pain in the ass.

I didn't realize bikes could be expensive. Around here you can get one for about $50.

Theses two FML's in a row are very similar

Why wouldn't you just take the bike inside with you?

I already said this once but I will repeat it for you. It's possible that the store wouldn't allow it. I know that all of the stores in and around my neighborhood have very firm rules that state you may not bring your bikes or the like beyond the main doors. They have to be left outside in the appropriate area or they will be removed.

Depending on the store they may allow you to bring it in with you can hold it behind cash wrap...
