Today, someone stole my coat. I can only imagine their surprise when they find the $3,000 engagement ring I bought earlier. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found the $3,200 engagement ring I dropped in my yard. I ran over it with my lawnmower. 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 went to a jeweler's to buy a ring to propose to my girlfriend. When I was at the restaurant, in mid-proposal, with people watching, I realized I had left the ring in the store. FML
Today, my engagement ring was seized by the police, and my fiancé was arrested on larceny charges. Both in the same visit. FML
Today, I saw a picture of my ex giving her new boyfriend an extremely familiar ring. Upon zooming in, I realized that it was the engagement ring I gave her that she claimed to have had stolen from her home. FML
Today, I found out that my engagement ring was actually my husband's ex-fiancée's. FML
Today, I got home early from work at 2am to find my girlfriend of 5 years missing. Upon further inspection, I caught the "other man" dropping her off out front. So much for the engagement ring I bought for her. FML
Today, I went to see a hockey game. The announcer asked if anybody found a ring in the stands, because a girl lost hers. While he talked about it, I realised that I forgot mine in my pocket, so I took MY ring and put it on my finger. A guy saw me and thought I stole the lost one. FML
Today, I realized my wedding ring was missing. Turns out, my son had taken it to give to a girl he likes in the second grade. FML
Today, the police called because someone had turned in my wallet that was stolen. I happily drove home only to find that my house had been robbed and ransacked. FML

Oh man, I hope you got insurance on the ring. That certainly sucks.

Your broad knew what you were up to, did not see herself marrying you, 'stole' your jacket and sold that ring.. eh I don't know just a scenario.

I read coat as cat and was very confused. Ooops. Anyway, I'm sorry that happened. I hope it can be tracked down somehow by the cops, or maybe it'll be returned to wherever it was stolen from (unlikely, but on very very rare occasions somebody does feel guilt and returns whatever they stole).

To be fair it's not like the ring is $3000 to them, there's no way in hell they'd get that much for it even if they convinced someone they came into possession of it legally

That is really really terrible but did you seriously leave the ring in a coat pocket and leave the coat hung up or lying around somewhere?? If I had anything worth any money or sentimentality in my pocket I would keep that shit on me obsessively.

You've made someone very very happy - that's what you wanted right?!

Maybe you should thank him if they ever find him. I mean most marriages end up in divorce anyways so he prolly saved you a lot more then 3000 dollars (which if you got insurance on the ring they will replace) after you look at the cost the honeymoon, kids (if you have any), possibly the wedding and all that stuff.

How can anyone think that OP deserved this? Is it the morons who adopt the idea that "If you really cared about it, you wouldn't let it get stolen"? No, seriously. Please, give me a good reason why.

I think many feel OP failed to use common sense. Although OP did not specifically state where the coat was when it was stolen it was likely not in his possession at the time, if he was wearing it he was in a dodgy neighborhood were a thief felt safe confronting his victim to steal the coat, or if the coat was nearby say on his chair back then he was carelessly distracted. Most people would keep a large amount of cash or valuable item on their person.
