Today, my father called the cops saying I stole his car. It's my car, but his name is on the title. Why did he report it stolen? Because rather than taking him to a bar and being his designated driver, I went to a job interview. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my father told me to take the car and get some groceries. An hour and a half later, coming home with the groceries, I see the cops all around my house because my dad had called them, thinking that I had run away and stolen the car. FML
Today, I saw my dad for the first time in ten years. He was stealing my car. FML
Today, I was approached by a policeman who asked me if I was the owner of the green Camry. Turns out my parents decided to teach me a lesson for lying where I had been by reporting the car stolen. They also wouldn't answer my one phone call. FML
Today, my father stole the money I'd saved up by working and spent it all gambling. I'd saved it up for a year for a new car. FML
Today, my boss reported to the police that a suspicious car has been parked outside the store late at night. I walked outside and my car was gone. He had my car towed. FML
Today, my dad got extremely drunk, so I took away his car keys and left on foot. When I came back, I saw that he had broken down my door. Now my dad is mad at me for not giving him the keys when he was drunk, and I'm door-less. FML
Today, my car went missing. My sister constantly asks to borrow it, so I called her and asked if she had it. She swore blind that she didn't, so I called the cops and reported it stolen. They soon caught her driving the stolen vehicle. She blames me and is now telling everyone I set her up to be arrested. FML
Today, I borrowed a roommate's car to get groceries. I came out to find the car stolen. I called the cops, and the responding officer took the info and drove me home to give the roomie the bad news in person. 15 minutes later, they found the car. I'd parked it on the opposite side of the lot. FML
Today, I let my dad borrow my car. I found out a few hours later that he has had a suspended license for three years. How did I find out? He got pulled over and arrested. My car was also impounded. I'm a college student barely making it as it is. Guess who can't afford the impound fees? FML
Today, I found a cellphone. I went through the contacts and called the one listed as "Dad" to inform them I could leave it at a cash register of the store I found it in, or take it to the police station so they could pick it up. They then called the police, insisting I stole it. FML

It's not your car unless your name is on the title. I know it sucks that your dad did that. I recommend you get that title switched to your name ASAP. No matter the situation, your dad will always win the case if your car is in his name.

Though the others are right, you need to change the name over, it's still such a waste of police time and resources. Hope they fine him.

Why did you go for a job interview when you already work as a chauffeur? I’ll bet you get to drink all the free soda you want! Sweet!

How could you? Respect the man and drive him around. He raised you and spent all that money and time on you and... oh no nevermind. That's other people on here.

An important part of the role of a parent is to know when and how to let go. If this kid refused to drive his dad around because s/he wanted to party, that would be one thing. But s/he is trying to get a job, be responsible, and grow into his/her own. As a parent, that should take priority. For dad not to understand that show he doesn’t deserve to be blindly followed and obeyed.

Not your car. Doesn’t matter if you paid for it, gas it up, maintain it...if someone else holds the title, it’s NOT your car. And if the owner rescinds his permission for you to drive it or possess it, you are S.O.L. Sucks. Sorry.
