Today, someone burgled my hotel room. As always, I had locked my passport, extra cash, and other valuables in the closet safe, so I thought the losses would be superficial. What a discovery that the safe hadn't been fastened to the closet shelf, so the thief just picked it up and took it home. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was heading out for my flight to Australia. I'd put a padlock on my luggage to keep my wallet and passport safe, only to realize way too late that I'd left the key at home. I couldn't get at my passport and ended up missing my flight and my whole vacation along with it. FML
Today, I left a note on the kitchen table saying to leave the door unlocked because I lost my key. I come home to find our house ransacked and robbed. Minutes later, I found my key. In my pocket. FML
Today, my house was robbed while I was at work. The robber left a note telling me my stuff was crappy and that they found my safe under the bed. FML
Today, I bought a safe. I put all of my most prized possessions in it, including all of my jewelry, family heirlooms and important papers. Oh, and just before I locked it up, I put the key to the safe in there too. FML
Today, I fell asleep with my luggage at a bus terminal. Upon waking up, I found that someone had opened my bags and stolen all my socks. FML
Today, I arrived at the airport only to find my suitcase was lost and my 3 weeks worth of clothes and supplies gone. All I had left was my wallet and carry ons. Upon leaving the airport I was mugged. 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
Today, I was showering at my dorm. I had my clothes locked in a locker and my towel and robe hanging outside the stall. Someone took off with my towel and robe, which had my keys. I had to walk down three flights of stairs to get an extra key in nothing but a plastic shower curtain. FML
Today, I went for a job interview. Before giving me a tour, the manager pointed to my purse and said, "Better leave that in my office." I didn't know why it was safer in her office than on my shoulder, but I complied. Later, I went to buy coffee and discovered that all my cash was missing. FML
Today, I came home to find that my house had been broken into. The items stolen were my PS3, cell phone, laptop, tablets, and for some reason my deodorant and pillowcases as well. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

What hotel did you stay at so I can avoid staying there.

I never noticed that. Better be more careful next time OP Maybe next time you go to a hotel you can fill the safe up with rocks and bring your valuables with you. You know, just in case :P

These things should always be on you and never locked away in the hotel room. At least the cash and passport should be.

The safe isn't supposed to move. Next time I'd make sure it isn't moveable.

i got a safe in my room and it moves! I just moved it to clean behind it! So i dont know what your talking about

Yes but usually safes are bolted to the floor or wall to ensure that someone can just steal the entire safe

Not too hard, hotel safes are not exactly Brinks.
teague95 16
cheap safes if you just drill through the lock you can open it, fairly easily all you need is a drill and a metal drill bit

Sounds like an inside job. That thief seemed to know little too much about how to get away with it.

I say u sue the shit out of that hotel lack of security and not having that safe fastened! -.-
krysxkatastrophe 14
@34 Yes, because suing is the obvious answer to EVERYTHING. -.-' Edit: Sorry if this double posted, the app isn't too reliable.
teague95 16
34 is right though that safe should have been bolted down so someone couldn't just walk off with it

What I want to know is how the thief got out of the hotel carrying a safe..? Someone would have seen him at least!

Wtf is anti-flood protection? Anybody know?
fuckmebutdontfml 16
It's so you don't monopolize the site...You are not allowed to poat something right after the other, someone has to post something else first.

Don't listen to these people. Anti-flood protection is there to keep you safe in case your house floods. The app transforms your phone/iPod into a life raft, complete with provisions, emergency poncho, flashlight, flare gun, etc. This is just another example of the friendly FML mods thinking about YOU and keeping you safe! Thanks, mods!
