Today, I was taking a bus ride home, listening to some music. The music stopped and I assumed my iPod's battery had run out. Turns out someone managed to steal it, leaving my earphones in. I didn't feel a thing. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I left my headphones on the bus and didn't realize until I got home. I used the tracking app and saw they were moving around the city. I followed the location for half an hour before realizing the signal was coming from my own neighborhood because the headphones had been sitting in my backpack the entire time. FML
Today, I was walking home, when I realized I didn't have my phone on me. After retracing my steps, I realized that I'd been listening to music from my phone the entire time. FML
Today, I was listening to my music on my phone through my Bluetooth wireless headphones. While listening, I turned my music and the power on my headphones off for a bit. I thought I'd lost them when I got home. They were so loosely fit over my ears that I felt like an idiot when I realized they were still on my head. FML
Today, I was on a crowded el train listening to my iPod touch. As I stepped off the train, my headphones got caught on a man's jacket and my iPod fell on the floor. The doors shut. I then watched the train pull away. With my iPod on it. FML
Today, I was on a bus and a man was feeling up my butt. I was just about to step on his foot when the bus stopped and he slipped out. Only then did I realize he'd stolen my wallet. FML
Today, while I was taking a break at work, someone stole my iPod from my desk. I work in a police station. FML
Today, I fell asleep listening to my music and tanning at the beach. Not only did I wake up with a sunburn, but my iPhone had been stolen. 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 had my headphones on while on the bus. I didn't realize how loud the music was till the woman sitting next to me punched me for changing her favorite song and then "ignoring her" when she asked me to put it back. FML
Today, I helped two people find the central station on my way home. As a thank you, they mugged me and stole my wallet and iPod Touch. FML

I'm imagining OP's iPod is playing, "You've been hit by, you've been struck by-" Thief unplugs the iPod, snatches it and sings "A smooth criminal." The thief then proceeds to moonwalk off the bus with the rest of the occupants performing choreographed dance.

A long long time ago (just now) I can still remember how That music used to make me smile... I knew that if I got on last that creepy guy would pinch my ass so I snagged a seat and sat down a while... but something made me tremor I lost the bass and tenor I saw him at the bus door steps I think I called out " stop that schlep" I can't remember if I cried When I read about his widowed bride but something made me snap inside "the day the music died"

Yeah, I would check to make sure it was actually dead, especially with my iPod because it has a tendency to just stop playing for no reason but once I hit play it starts again no problem. But either way, I'd think you would look at it, and if you noticed right away that it was gone you might have a chance to catch the person because they'd have to be fairly close to you...

If you thought it died, why did you keep your headphones in? And I'm curious as to where your iPod was placed or you to not feel them taking it or be able to see it? We're your eyes closed?

Leaving your earphones in what? Nothing?

This thief must work for Robin Hood and his band of Merry Men. Look on the bright side; if this is the case, your iPod is now being used to feed the poor!
