Today, I couldn't see my car in a crowded car park. I pressed unlock on my keys and saw the lights flash. As I walked over I also saw someone run from my car with an armful of my stuff. FML

Today, my keys disappeared out of my car door during the 50 foot walk to the trash can. When I finally went to security after trying to find them, they said someone drove off with my car right as I walked in the door. FML
Today, I was playfully walking back to my car with my girlfriend. My door was unlocked. I then noticed my car had stuff scattered inside. A bum had just robbed and ransacked my car. FML
Today, I lost my keys while at the supermarket. I franticly back-tracked through the store, asking everyone I saw along the way. They eventually showed up, right where I left them... in my unattended car, the engine still running. There was an announcement made over the PA system. FML
Today, I accidentally left the handbrake off in my car, got out, locked it, and started walking away. Then I heard a loud noise and looked over my shoulder and the car was gone. Of course, it hit the only other car parked in the street. FML
Today, I was walking to my car when I saw a large man walking behind me. I hurried to open my car as he was approaching quickly, but the door wasn't unlocking and I panicked. I then realized that it wasn't even my car. As I walked away from it, he walked up and unlocked the door. 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 was leaving the mall. I Instinctively hit the unlock button on my car keys from across the parking lot. Little did I know I was making it a whole lot easier for the guy breaking into my car. FML
Today, I locked my car. I put the key in my bag when suddenly my car began to roll backwards. I tried to get the key out of my bag but couldn't find it, and with the other hand I tried to stop the car. The worst thing was that some dumbass was watching me and didn't help. FML
Today, after a long workout I come back to my locker, to find my lock had been cut. I looked inside realizing my phone and iPod had been stolen. If that wasn't bad enough, my keys were gone. I ran out to the parking lot to find an empty spot where my car had once been parked. FML
Today, I locked my keys in the car while the car was running because I got out to get the parking ticket attached to my windshield. FML

People who steal from cars really drive me crazy...

The parking lot full of crows concerns me more than the theft...

Wow, either they were ready and waiting or just happened to be passing by at just the right time.

Ya, I don't quite understand how they knew op would be unlocking their car at that exact time. I think they may have jimmied the lock or something, and was already stealing stuff before op even showed up.

Am I the only person who immediately thought of that tumblr post about the car parks?

You should just use your car alarm, it's louder and keeps your car locked :p

And annoys everyone around you.

Yeah but it's safer than unlocking it...

OP probably would have turned the alarm off after they located their car. The alarm really isn't that annoying unless it's going on for a long time.

Why would you unlock it while you were still far away In crowded parking lot?

Thing is those remotes only have a short range usually, often around 10-20 meters even with a good battery, assuming OP was walking at a normal pace that's hardly enough time for someone to steal stuff unless they were right there at the right place at the right time or as someone suggested they were already into OP's car before they hit the remote.

Unless OP used their phone to unlock their car. Usually the range for the phone remote is pretty long.

Should have pushed the lock button over and over. Anyway sorry OP hopefully the insurance can pay you out

why would you unlock the car with the lights just flashing. unlike when you double lock the car and the car beeps or even just using the alarm button. but I'm sorry that it happened :(

That's why there is a panic button which does not unlock the car and still tells you where it is
