Money: Today, my boyfriend called me to ask if I knew the serial number...

Today, my boyfriend called me to ask if I knew the serial number for my laptop. I had given him my $650 gaming laptop to sell in his electronics store because I didn't need it and could use the money. Apparently it was stolen at some point yesterday and his cameras were turned off. FML

Today, I walked into pawn shop and found a nice laptop which I inspected after I thought I lost mine months ago. Turns out my ex pawned it after having it at her place all this time. FML

Today, somebody broke in to my house and stole my laptop, which had years worth of family photos on it. Where was I when it was stolen? At Staples, buying supplies that included CDs to finally back up my pictures. FML

Today, I went searching for my old school laptop only to find that my stepdad had swiped it and given it to his mother. My sex tapes and nudes are on it. FML

Today, I stayed at my boyfriend's house after mine was broken into. The robber took my laptop, jewellery, and tons of clothes. When I walked into his house, I was greeted by his brother, wearing one of my stolen shirts. FML

Today, I got my laptop back after lending it to my friend. It wouldn't boot, and after investigating I found out it'd been stripped of its hard drive and all its memory. When I confronted my "friend", he accused me of lying and trying to ruin his reputation. FML

Today, my neighbour casually mentioned that he sold my car's GPS that I'd let him borrow. He figured I wouldn't be needing it anymore since I lost my license. FML

Today, I came home to find that my roommate had picked my lock and stolen my new laptop. When I tried to take it back, he called the police. They sided with him since he had also taken the receipt, which was "proof" that it was his. FML

Today, my boyfriend and I were chatting on MSN. He had to go run down to the corner market but left his webcam on. Shortly after he left I watched his mother steal 60 dollars out of his wallet. He doesn't believe me. FML

His cameras being turned off sounds awful convenient... I do hope you get your laptop back.

I hope that you/his store have theft insurance because that's a pretty substantial loss!

Ditto...it was his responsibility to record the serial before he put it where anyone else could see it! And sorry to say YDI for giving it to someone (boyfriend) that didn't know that!

This sounds a bit fishy if you ask me!

He's probably trying to ask if u knew so you wouldn't report it. He probably sold it for a good profit and no, you're not getting the share.

The suspicion level of the convince on this FML is over 9000

This doesn't sound suspicious at all... As an electronics goods store, he should have recorded the serial number himself for his own store records. It appears to me that he was asking you for the serial number to confirm that you didn't know it/have it recorded and therefore he could get away with it. If you said you did know it, he probably would have magically found it sitting in the dumpster out back or some bullshit. Also, the convenient timing with the cameras being off would make it difficult to get the insurance company to be cooperative.

Ok. I feel bad for you, that's a huge loss in money, but $650 for a gaming laptop is really cheap compared to most of the ones I've seen (I.e. Lenovo, Asus, Alienware)
