Today, I got a parking ticket. I put the ticket in my bag and accidentally left the bag in my friends car. When I returned, the car window was smashed, my bag was gone. I had to call the police department and ask them to send me a new ticket, on top of the $1000 or so I'd already lost. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I went to city hall to pay for a parking ticket. After returning to my truck, I found a parking ticket on my window. FML
Today, I gave my friend a ride to town so she wouldn't have to pay the $10 to park. While waiting to pick her up, I grabbed a bite to eat. Upon returning to my car, I found a $55 parking ticket on my windshield. FML
Today, I parked my car, went to pay for my spot, and returned to my car only to find a parking violation ticket tucked under the windshield wipers. This all happened in less than a minute. FML
Today, after I arrived at work, somebody crashed into my parked car and left a big dent. The impact pushed my car up onto the curb and I got a parking ticket. FML
Today, I went to my car to discover a note on the windshield from the city telling me that they had hit my car. On top of that note was a parking ticket, also from the city. FML
Today, I got a speeding ticket. I wrote a check, and on the way to deposit my fine, I got another one. I put both fines in a box down town, and I turned around to see a cop putting a parking ticket under my wind-shield wiper. FML
Today, I went to the post office. As I entered the building, my car alarm went off. Thinking I'd accidentally pressed the alarm on my keys, I shut it off without looking. When I returned to my car, the passenger window was demolished and my purse with all my money was gone. FML
Today, while I was walking to my car, I was mugged. Not only did they take my phone, wallet and watch, the extra few minutes taken in my journey meant that when I got to my car, I was given a parking ticket. FML
Today, I got a parking ticket in the mail. I don't have a car. FML
Today, I went to contest a parking ticket in court. I came out 3 hours later, all charges clear, to a new parking ticket on my windshield, for the same amount I just got cleared. FML

Has anybody considered that maybe several hundred of the $1000 this person lost was the replacement cost for the window? Glass replacement for cars can be EXPENSIVE. Even if it was his or her friend's window he would probably pay for the replacement as it was his mistake. The glass plus a nice cellphone could easily bring the cost up to $1000, and the bag itself might have been expensive. It really sucks that the car was broken into - people leave stuff visible in cars without thinking all the time. It's kinda stupid but everyone makes a mistake or forgets at some point. Doesn't mean someone else has the right to break in and steal stuff.

Don't leave your belongings in plain sight. I never do. Still sucks though. A lot. Obviously the $1000 probably wasn't in cash. A laptop or a phone combined with a designer bag could easily add up to this cost. So many people on this site are completely ridiculous... or maybe they just want to believe they're too smart for bad things to happen to them. Think for a second before you call someone a prostitute.

YDI for leaving money/valuables worth $1000 unattended.

Wow... can't believe so many people are saying it's his fault for leaving his "valuables" unattended/visible. I guarantee you that probably half of the people who say that leave stuff worth a grand in their car unattended all the time. Also Lol at the thief stealing a parking ticket, that'd be great, him looking in the bag, I could just imagine him going: "Wait wtf???" FYL man, sorry to hear that.
