Today, I heard an electric saw cutting through something outside my condo. I presumed it was a complex maintenance guy working on something. It was a thief using an angle grinder to cut off my bicycle's U-lock. FML

Today, someone had put a lock on my bike. While I was trying to saw it off, the police drove by. I was arrested for trying to steal a bike and released four hours later when they figured out that it was actually my bike. FML

Today, I rode my newly-purchased bicycle to Lowe's to look at flooring and back splashes for our upcoming remodel. Upon leaving the store, I found out that my bicycle had been stolen by someone who had bought a hacksaw from that store while I was shopping. They left the receipt to mock me. 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 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, 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 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, I walked out of my college dorm to see that the intelligent person who locked their bike next to mine decided as an added security they would lock their bike to the rack, and to my bike. 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

Today, my bike was stolen. These things happen, so I went to work. On my walk to work, a girl pulls up on my bike and says I needed to fix the brakes, someone could kill themselves. She hands the bike to me and runs off. Not even 3 minutes pass before police surrounded me and accused me of stealing my own bike. FML

You'd think it'd be easier just to buy one at Wal-Mart or something!

Oh man, I'm sorry. @#5 WTF? People ride their bikes places still. Or to work out, like... regular people? Especially if this person's a student.

#6 - I know. I made that comment referring to the fact that someone stole Lance Armstrong's bike a little while ago when he left it out in the open. The bike was one of a kind. I thought of it when #4 said "Must have been a really ******* nice bike." Poor attempt at humor though, I suppose >.>

Wow. That's balls. Might as well wear neon yellow, and hold a sign that says "I steal bikes".

That's stupid of the thief because that would (and did) bring a lot of attention to himself. I guess not if it was a rural area. Did you catch him? Edit:#9 got it first

This is why everybody knows to keep their bicycles INSIDE.

Really? I've only seen bikes kept indoors when people have garages? What about college students? Or people living in apartments with no personal garage? Maybe OP has no choice but to keep it outdoors.
