Today, my mom let my younger brother borrow my car. He managed to crash it through the garage door. While I was in another country. Somehow, I manage to get berated by my mom because I'm not doing enough to make my brother feel better about him having an accident involving my car and my house. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I illicitly borrowed my dad's car to go to the store, but crashed into my mom's car as she and dad were returning from my grandma's house. Both cars are totalled, my mom is in hospital with a broken collarbone, and I realised dads really can make steam come out their ears if they’re really mad. FML
Today, I crashed my brother's car. All my friends know about this and not a single person has ask if I'm OK, even my dad and brother don't seem to be worried about me. Only my mother and I are sad because I don't know how to pay for a new car, the old one is in pieces. Thank god I'm alive but maybe dead would've been better. FML
Today, my brother "borrowed" my car and keys without asking me. He came back 4 hours later, alone and pale faced. It took half an hour of questions, interrogation, and finally threats before he admitted that my car is sitting in a ditch a few miles away, probably totaled. FML
Today, I accidentally crashed my mom's car into my dad's car. FML
Today, I was in a car accident. When I came home, I told my mom. She just got angry with me, blamed me for it, and didn't even ask if I was OK. FML
Today, I let my imbecile of a brother borrow my car. The keys to his car are now jammed into the ignition of mine. FML
Today, I got home from a week-long vacation with my friend's family. When I got back home, I found the garage door had been completely demolished. My uncontrollably drunk dad blamed me. I don't even drive. FML
Today, as my brother parked in our hotel's parking lot, I told him to be careful because the car wasn't straight. He retorted, "Yeah, just like you". My mother was in the back seat and heard everything. I hadn't come out yet. FML
Today, my screw-up brother turned up at my house, expecting to move in rent free. Apparently, mom kicked him out and sent him to me. He's a freeloading demon, who's almost impossible to get rid of, so I told him to get lost and locked my door. Now my mom calls every 5 minutes to call me a selfish asshole. FML
Today, my mom drove my car and had to make a U-turn on a narrow street. Instead of slowing down, she sped up to turn, running off the road and denting my car. To make things worse, she blamed me for not giving her good directions, then followed that up with, "It's not that bad." FML

… And next time, bring your keys with you, even if it is in a foreign country.

Maybe the mom has a spare?

Yake them to a small claims court if they refuse to pay for everything. Hell file a police report saying that he stole the keys and tried to steal your car. And your mother is an accessory to Grand Theft Auto.

Wow, she had no right to tell your brother that he could use anything of yours. And since you said your house, I assume you're living on your own, which makes her have even less authority over that kind of thing. You shouldn't have to make your brother feel better for crashing YOUR car when he shouldn't have been in it to begin with. Your mother has her priorities wrong.

That's why when you leave you hide your keys

That is beyond normal frustration with family and into mentally abusive and criminal territory. That is a huge overstepping of boundaries and you need to set a firm line now that this is NOT okay, this is NOT your fault, and you will NOT be browbeaten about it. Otherwise things will get worse, and you will never be made whole as your family will think it is "your fault" forever. And will continue to destroy your things because you didn't make it clear that they will nto get away with it. Get your mom to sign a written statement detailing exactly what happened, including a promisary note to pay back every goddamn penny. Make it clear that SHE gave your brother permission to use YOUR property, without YOUR consent, damaging YOUR property. Make it clear that if said note is not signed, police will be involved. Make it clear that if money is not paid, lawyers will be involved - assuming damage is under the small claims court limit, that is a cheap way to get results.

Sorry, but odds are that OP has been treated like crap his whole life and quite possibly so brainwashed that he won't be able to stand up for himself. Some parents are at the far end of horrible.

Today on "Things that didn't happen"..... It's your house? Your car? Your Mum can decide to let your sibling go to your house and drive your car. Sure. Why do they have keys to your house and car if they're that idiotic?
