Today, I had gone to the store and bought a new wallet. 5 minutes later a security guard asks for my receipt. Turns out I had dropped my receipt. Some guy had picked it up and pretended I had stole his wallet. The guard confiscated my wallet because the guy had "his" receipt to prove it. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I realized the dress I bought yesterday still had the security tag on. I returned to the store to get it removed, only to realize I'd lost my receipt. The lady at the counter thought I stole it, called security, and had me escorted out, dress-less. FML
Today, I went to the store, but after I'd selected my items, I saw that I'd forgotten my wallet. When I tried to explain to the cashier, he thought that I was trying to steal and called the cops. My roommate had to come to the store to save me. FML
Today, while at the mall, a lady dropped her credit card while in line to buy something. I came over, picked it up and gave it to her just for her to shove it in my hand and scream, "She's stealing my wallet! My wallet!" The police came. FML
Today, I found a wallet on the sidewalk and spent an hour tracking down the owner. When I finally returned it, he opened it, counted the cash in front of me, and asked if I was sure there hadn't been more money in it. FML
Today, I lost my wallet while out shopping. Panicked, I retraced my steps and found it at a store, turned in by an employee. Grateful, I opened it to find a note that read, "We left the money but took one dollar for karma." I checked. They did actually take one dollar. FML
Today, I realized I'd lost my wallet when paying for groceries. I had to put all the items back and leave the store feeling so embarrassed in front of everyone. FML
Today, I walked into Best Buy to buy a 42" widescreen TV I'd been saving up for many months. As I walked in, a man stopped me and handed me my wallet that I'd accidentally dropped. I thanked him. Five minutes later at the checkout, I opened up my wallet to realize it was empty. He had stolen everything. FML
Today, I felt a tug on my backpack and found my wallet missing. A nice stranger pointed to a guy running down the stairs and said "There goes the guy who took your wallet!" I ran to catch the supposed offender. The 'nice' stranger was the actual offender distracting me as he got away. FML
Today, I found a wallet containing an ID card. I managed to track down the owner, who now is threatening to call the police if I don't return the 400 dollars that he insists were also in it. FML
Today, I was shopping with my husband. At the self-checkout, one of the items I was buying for him as a gift didn’t register. As we were walking out, I get stopped and escorted to the loss prevention office, where I was accused of stealing. FML

I call shenanigans. Hanging out in a store long enough for someone to see you drop a receipt, tell security, and get you to give the wallet back, all AFTER you bought it? Nope.

If you paid with a credit card, the receipt should show the last four digits and possibly even your name. If not, then you should have demanded that the guard and the guy go back with you to the salesperson you bought it from. If for some reason, they didn't remember you, demand that they check the security cameras. Department stores don't trust their employees and keep cameras on every single cash register and they very easily could have gone back in the video to see that it was you who had bought it. If you let them get away with it, then you deserved it. Sorry, I know it sucks, but whatever.

#47 - Depending on the store, a lot of people will hang around and "shop" just for fun. {Sorry for posting twice, I missed out on the two minute edit time for the comment on #47's comment.}

if you actually let that guy walk out of there with your wallet, you're a ******* dumbass. **** the salesperson, **** the security tapes, and **** the manager, i'd just walk out of the store with MY wallet. If it's yours there's no way to prove you stole it therefore no way for you to suffer any consequences by saying **** you and leaving. DESERVED.
