Today, I come home to find my nephew holding pieces of my new $3,500 Sony Video Camera. He told me he threw it out the window because it was a portal for aliens. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, in an attempt to keep my valuables safe, I snatched my PlayStation 4 controller from the hands of my 4-year-old nephew. Not knowing that it was connected, I ultimately yanked the PlayStation and the HD Flatscreen flat on their faces. FML
Today, while I was out of the house, my 6 year old brother stole my new waterproof camera, dunked it into the toilet holding onto the wrist strap, and flushed repeatedly to see if it lived up to its "waterproof promise." It didn't. FML
Today, I realized that I hadn't seen my video camera in a while. After searching for several minutes in my room, I remembered that I had given it to my dad to hide before our month long trip (so even if someone broke into the house the video camera would be safe). He's forgotten where he hid it. FML
Today, my nephew spent a long while enthusiastically telling me how amazing his new 3D TV system is. I felt his pain as his face turned white when he remembered that I'm blind in one eye since birth. FML
Today, my nephew asked if I wanted to see a magic trick. I humored him and let him give it a go. He covered my phone with a blanket, counted to three, and revealed that it had "disappeared." The little genius had dropped it into a fish tank while I wasn't looking. FML
Today, I took my new laptop into my house from my car, thinking it would be a too much of a target for kids grabbing it. I came home tonight to find my door kicked in, my laptop gone and my TV ripped from the wall. FML
Today, I spent Saturday helping my uncle clean out his garage. He told me to throw away a box of “old useless cables.” I did. Later, he asked where the box was because it contained the only charger for his 20-year-old camera. We spent 3 hours searching the recycling bins. FML
Today, I found out that my son set up a telescope in the attic not so he could study astronomy like he told me, but so he could spy on the girl across the street. FML
Today, I woke up, only to find my Xbox missing. Thankfully I have a security camera discreetly wired up in the tree on my lawn. Checking the tapes, I saw my brother park outside my house, let himself in with his spare key, then drive off with my missing equipment. FML
Today, I carefully wrapped my nephew's birthday present so it would look perfect. He thanked me, pushed it aside, and spent the next two hours pretending the empty cardboard box was a spaceship. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You have two options. One if you have homeowners insurance (even a renters policy) then you may have coverage for the damage. What happened could be considered vandalism or malicious mischief. If you live with your parents and they have homeowners insurance then you are covered too. You will have to pay your deductible and you might get a depreciated value unless you have replacement cost coverage. Still much better than being out $3500. The other option is to make a claim under the insurance policy of the nephew's parents. If he is old enough to be considered negligent (depending on the state that could be as young as eight) then the liability portion of the policy would kick in. No deductible on the liability policy but you will get a depreciated value. The newer the camera then the less it will hurt. You can not collect from both policies. Claims are tracked even between different companies - you will get caught if you try to collect twice. Of course if one company turns you down then you are free to try filing a claim with the other one. If your nephrew broke your camera on purpose that is intentional and is not covered under the liability policy. Tough to say that there was or was not intent here based on the description. The aliens excuse is pretty lame. Best if he just owns up to being careless...

I don't understand you guys who are whining about it being $3500 and saying that's ridiculous. It was a freakin' portal for aliens!!! I'm surprised it was that cheap!

He saved you from aliens. I'd be mad cauz on the Sims 2, when an alien abducts you, you get pregnant with an alien baby. Even if you're male! So sorry u can't have a green baby.

I highly doubt this is real. And I highly doubt there is a person like cousin that is dumb enough to break three and half grand worth of camera or yourself to place such a valuable object in a kid's reach. You definitely deserve it if it was real.
