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

It's not that hard to break open a hotel/motel safe. One method would be to drop it forcefully on its corner, safes now open. Second method, flat tip screw driver in corner + hammer = safe open.

Keep all your safes away from this guy.

Actually I found out the hard way. I accidentally dropped one. The screwdriver trick I saw on storage wars.

I've worked in many hotels in my lifetime and it's not uncommon for the safe in te toom to be unattached to the wall. However, those things weigh like 500 pounds so I can't imagine how this burglar got away with it. Make sure you notify the staff...I'm sure there are cameras everywhere in the hotel and outside. Maybe they can identify a license plate or something.

You can sue the hotel for that, they're Clearly responsible, you'll get reimbursed and get some money for emotional trauma or however you want to spin it

maybe it's because you spell like a dipshit...'burglarized' not 'burgled'

Only if you're American. "Burglarized" is a hideous word. A bowler bowls, a runner runs and a burglar burgles.

You really need to be more aware of the world before you start dishing out hurtful comments. It may come back to haunt you.
