Today, I was taking a group shot with my friends when I asked a stranger to take the picture for us. He backed up and told us to squish closer together, and when he was at least 20 feet away, he turned and ran off with my camera. FML

See, that's why you look for strangers will chubby little kids to take your pictures. 1- They'll be slowed down by carrying the chubby kids in their arms or 2- The chubby kids will be too slow to keep up with their family and you can use as a trade to get your camera back. Unless the family wants the camera more than their kid. Then you have a problem.

So you handed your camera to a complete stranger? I don't get why people do this and don't expect it to get stolen.

Never ask someone who's on their own or without kids!

Judgmental much? There could be some nice people who simply don't have anyone to walk around with.

Still, a mother with a pram can't usually run off with your camera. Anyone else, kinda can.

That mother with kids theory is pretty good I think.

so anytime someone need a picture we will just wait for a prego mom

I hate thieves. I would never steal.

Oh, but just because this is similar to what happens in that movie doesn't for sure mean it's fake. That's why you don't give your camera to a random person unless you know they couldn't run off. I'm sure situations like this have happened plenty of times.

i live in vegas and i've been tempted to do it on a couple times...

well u deserve it. why for handing a stranger a camera

so you and your "group of friends" couldn't cahse him down and get it back?

Well, he did have a 20 foot head start... and the element of surprise... likely knows the area better, too...

Not if they're going downhill! The kid would probably try and eat the camera or something...

That just brought up a mental image of little chubby kids rolling downhill while curled up in a ball while eating a camera. xD

like this? http://i36.tinypic.com/24269f6.png (minus the downhill rolly)

Its only a FML if your camera was a Sony Cybershot.
