Today, I was going to propose to my girlfriend. On our way to the Space Needle I was pulled over and promptly arrested. Apparently, I had recently purchased a car from a man who had robbed a jewelery store. The ring is now evidence. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.

Today, I went to a jewellery store to sell my wedding ring, after a long and painful divorce. The shop owner took one look at it and called the cops because I tried to sell him a diamond ring that had been stolen from him 3 years ago. My ex-husband left the country a week ago. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend with the cliché of the diamond ring in a champagne glass. Apparently there was an off-duty police officer across the room watching me slip the ring into the glass. He thought I was slipping in a date-rape drug and tackled me down before I could propose. FML
Today, I found out my boyfriend was going to propose. He'd bought me a beautiful white gold ring that I never got to see. His estranged mom stole the ring. FML
Today, I was out with my boyfriend, when he started browsing wedding rings. He found a ring, proposed to me right there in front of a crowd, and then was promptly denied a payment plan. We left without a ring. FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed to me with the prettiest, most simple ring I have ever seen. I called my sister to tell her the good news, and her response was, "I know. He had me steal the ring from Claire's." FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed. He said we’d go pick up the ring tomorrow. Then he asked to borrow $40 to get it out of pawn. He pawned it when his ex gave it back to him. FML
Today, I was trying to propose to my girlfriend when some scumbag snatched the ring and bolted. I chased him down, tackled him, and punched him until he gave the ring back. Now my girl is upset, crying, "What if he was hungry and needed to buy food? You didn't have to hurt him." FML
Today, I found out my fiancée has been sleeping with the salesman I bought her engagement ring from. He knew. FML

Your life is awful. I'm really sorry, that is terrible. Well, I guess your girlfriend now knows you were going to propose... I hope she still said yes!

If you have a receipt for the ring you're OK. Sure it sucks being inconvenienced.

this makes absolutely no sense. if you bought the ring from the jewlery store BEFORE it was robbed, how in the hell could it be evidence? it was gone before it had the chance to be stolen. also, if you bought the car from the dude who robbed the store, you should not have the same plates as he had on them. the cops may have pulled you over if they were looking for that specific car, but once they saw you were not the robber you would not be arrested. and the dude who was talking about his girlfriend being an accomplice and all that shit is insane. she has absolutely no connection to the crime. she would not be put in jail.

Fake, why? Because you'd register the car in your name. It would have DIFFERENT license plates to tie it to the robbery. I've never called fake before, but this one is way too obvious. Before we even mention the issues with having a ring receipt.

That's my thoughts, #50. I can see not having a receipt for the ring if it was a family heirloom, but the rest just doesn't make sense.

Sure, he'd have different plates if he got around to the DMV. Shockingly, however, people don't always go straight to the DMV to register a car after they buy it. Since he bought the car recently, it's quite plausible that he had not yet gotten around to it. Also, what's the issue with the ring receipt? As #54 pointed out, it could be an heirloom. Even if it isn't, I wouldn't expect him to have the receipt on hand! This is likely a large investment for him, so that receipt should be kept on file somewhere it won't get lost or damaged. Meaning he couldn't just show it to the officer. Now, it's quite likely that he could go home, retrieve the receipt, and then take it down to the PD to get his ring back, but that doesn't affect whether or not the FML is true.

don't you have the receipt of the ring? if you also buy the ring from the robber, you can at least show your check payment as evidence!

I hope whatever cop that was that pulled on you loses his job, family and turns to drink in order to forget the horrors of his cockup. What a dick
