Today, I woke up, only to find my Xbox missing. Thankfully I have a security camera discreetly wired up in the tree on my lawn. Checking the tapes, I saw my brother park outside my house, let himself in with his spare key, then drive off with my missing equipment. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I arrived at my apartment to find the door kicked in. Inside, I found my TV, Xbox, stereo, CDs, and laptop had all been stolen. When my roommate got home, I told him about it, to which he replied, "Yeah, I left my keys inside this morning, so I kicked the door in to get them." He'd left, leaving the door kicked in. FML
Today, I woke up to my Playstation 3 and my laptop missing and window open. My dad faked a robbery to see me freak out. FML
Today, I was taking a nap while my mom was at work. I woke up when she came home and didn't think anything of it so I went back to sleep. When I woke up again, I went downstairs and our 52" plasma screen TV, my xbox 360, and $1500 computer were all stolen. I'm guessing that wasn't my mom. FML
Today, I realized that I hadn't seen my video camera in a while. After searching for several minutes in my room, I remembered that I had given it to my dad to hide before our month long trip (so even if someone broke into the house the video camera would be safe). He's forgotten where he hid it. FML
Today, I took my new laptop into my house from my car, thinking it would be a too much of a target for kids grabbing it. I came home tonight to find my door kicked in, my laptop gone and my TV ripped from the wall. FML
Today, I was installing wireless surveillance cameras outside my workplace. Before mounting them, I pointed them around the building to make sure there was a good signal and picture. I got inside to the monitor just in time to see a kid steal one of the cameras. FML
Today, when looking through my home surveillance camera footage, I realised I was almost burgled. Two men broke in, looked around for a few minutes, and on the audio I clearly heard them complaining that I didn’t have anything worth stealing, so one of them pissed on my armchair. I'd blamed my dog for that damp patch. FML
Today, my brother thought he would take my key and steal my shoes from my football locker while I was at practice. What he didn't think about was him leaving my locker unlocked for the 3 hours of practice. Someone stole my iPod, my cell phone, my wallet, and all of my clothes. FML
Today, my apartment was broken into. The thief stole my TV, $350, and my Christmas tree. There is still a trail of broken ornaments from my living room to the door. FML
Today, I got home to find my entire video game collection and all my consoles had been stolen. Two weeks ago I brought them back from my University accommodation, specifically to stop them from being stolen while I was at home for the Christmas holiday. FML

At least you know who has it. I really hope your brother is not involved in something nasty. I have a friend whose game console was stolen by her boyfriend so he can sell it and get drugs with that money. :-

Apparently he needed it...

If he needed an Xbox, well, there are places where they sell them! I would beat the crap out of my brother if he did that. Figuratively since I'm an only child.

I would like this but it's at 123, so... Sorry lol

This definitely needs a follow up, who knows if your brother was close to you etc. FYL.
asnakelovinbabe 16
Well if he has a spare key..... They're probably at least kind of close.
BSnapZ 21
I guess that's better than a stranger?
Zelphoric 25
Yup, OP can now proceed to go to his brother and take his xbox (and the key so he won't steal again) back.

And swipe something of his to show him how it feels.

Who does that to their own sibling?

Apparently OP's brother.

@8 - I bought my ex a safe for our anniversary because her family would always steal her stuff and sell it for drugs. It wasn't huge, but it kept some of the smaller valuables from being taken.

my brother decided to come over and take all the parts he needed off of one of my trucks when he got one similar to it. without ever asking. siblings have a 'what's yours is mine' mentality. at least mine do
Brandi_Faith 34
Agreed^ this sounds like a lot of sibling relationships. Then there's other relationships where this is ok. If my brother wasn't home and I couldn't get a hold of him but wanted to borrow his xbox he would have no problem with my letting myself in to borrow it. However I would try and get a hold of him and If I couldn't I would've left him a note so he knew where it was. Kind of mean and weird not to ask first or at least leave a note.

Does it make us bad people if my sister and I do this to each other all the time? Me: "Where's my dress?" Sister: Yeah borrowed it a few weeks back. Sister: "where's my dog?" Me: Yeah I came over and took her to the park" Me picking my kid up from daycare: "where is she?" Teacher: "your sister picked her up and took her shopping an hour ago"

#9 your daycare must be bad if it lets someone else take your kids from it.
londoner86 13
#15 - Presumably OP's sister is there regularly picking the kid up so the staff know her..
AllieCat21 21
#15 some daycares have a list of people who the parents designate ok to pick up / drop off their kid
soulreaper12296 28
You obliviously don't know how daycares run. They have lists of people who can pick the child up besides the parents.

9, this is a similar relationship as mine and my brothers. But I do find it weird that the brother didn't ask first or leave a note so op wasn't worried. It sounds like op doesn't have your type of relationship with his brother though.
