Today, I showed my daughter video footage from a security camera that showed her using her employee key to enter the store I own, disarming the alarm, and stealing several very valuable items. Her defense? That someone had "photoshopped" the video. We'll see how that goes down in court. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my daughter used her spare key to get into my house while I was at work, then took and pawned off all of my jewelry. She only confessed when I confronted her with video camera footage. Her defense was that I told her I'd leave her everything in my will. Honey, I'm not dead yet. FML
Today, my sister got me in deep trouble at the store I worked security for. She "dropped by to say hi" and stole a bunch of things when I wasn't looking. I wasn't arrested, due to lack of any evidence. But my boss didn't care about evidence and fired me anyway. FML
Today, within a year of inheriting the family business from me so I could retire, my daughter claimed she had found a way to increase profits that was "way too complicated" for me to understand. Well today, police showed up. Whatever her method was, apparently it counts as fraud. FML
Today, I was out of town but saw the Ring camera footage of a woman dragging my wife out of our house by her hair and beat the brakes off her on the front lawn. The woman was the mother of the girl our daughter had been bullying. When confronted, our daughter laughed and said, "Oh well." FML
Today, I caught a grubby, evil-smelling, foul-mouthed woman blatantly shoplifting by stuffing electronics into her coat pockets, so I detained her and called the police. Less than an hour later I was fired. She was the shop owner's mother and “had permission” to just take stuff. FML
Today, I had a job interview at Walmart. They showed a video of me stealing. FML
Today, I got stopped for shoplifting at a department store. They took me back to the security room and showed me the tapes. I was taking my own designer lipgloss that I had bought a month before out of my purse. FML
Today, while going through my daughter’s room, I found a pair of pants with the security tag still attached. My daughter is a thief. FML
Today, I was caught stealing a video game. I realized after my parents were called that the case was actually empty. FML
Today, I was shopping with my husband. At the self-checkout, one of the items I was buying for him as a gift didn’t register. As we were walking out, I get stopped and escorted to the loss prevention office, where I was accused of stealing. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Having to take your own child to court can't be easy, so I'm sorry it's reached this point, OP. Hopefully everything will work itself out, and you and your daughter can make amends. Definitely change the alarm code though.

While editing vids is possible, I doubt its fake. Sorry OP.

She meant video shopped. Nah pretty much she's ******.

Videoshop isn't a thing. Doing that will require the video to be split into images and one by one edit it. This requiring some expertise.

Actually, it is. Think of an action movie.

what a dummy. Hope that'll teach her not to do stupid shit.

I wouldn't say dummy, more like an idiot. she works there so she should know that there are cameras there.

Probably thought being the owner's daughter gave her immunity. Good on OP for showing her that her assumption was wrong.

That's awful OP. I hope everything gets sorted out in court. Good luck with your future relationship with your daughter.

There isn't much of a relationship if his daughter is stealing from the family store.

Will she be taking the stand or something? That video is all you need...

likely OP is taking thier daughter to court for stealing from them and showed the video to her to show they have evidence of them stealing.

Glad that you're not letting her get away with it just because she's your daughter. I'm sure it's incredibly difficult on you though, sorry OP.

Sorry to hear it has reached that point. I'd avoid taking a child of mine to court at all costs if possible, but some people are just "problem people" and quite frankly they get what they deserve. Again, sorry you have to do this to your own child, but I'm sure she's left you no other choice. Hopefully she'll learn from this.

your profile picture though.

Some people turn out this way because their parents avoid taking them to court at all costs.

That sucks that it came so far to involve the court. Hope everything works out smoothly and this doesn't ruin your mother-daughter relationship!

@11 Op is a guy.

Depending on the type of guy, they still might have a mother-daughter relationship.
