Today, I arrived at work to find a bullet hole in the window of the storefront we're leasing. Security assured me it had always been there and the glass shards on the floor had somehow been missed in my many vacuum passes and the pre-lease inspection two months ago, so no need to worry or fix it.

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was at work, nonchalantly spinning my keys around my finger when they flew off and hit a glass cabinet. Broken glass showered passing customers. I don't think I'll have a job to go to tomorrow. FML
Today, my neighbor brought a ruined napkin holder over and claimed that we drilled a hole through his wall and ruined it. I apologized, not telling him that it was actually a bullet that my boyfriend shot through the wall. FML
Today, while leaving late for work, I walked out to my car only to find the back window broken. Worst part was, I still had to go to work because no one who could cover me showed up. FML
Today, I dropped some glass at my job while putting it on the shelf. A shard bounced off the floor and went up my nose. FML
Today, I walked into a glass door at the mall because I thought it was automatic. It wasn’t. The make up smudge from my face is now part of the door's Christmas decor. FML
Today, I was late for a meeting. The meeting hall door was made of glass, and it said pull, but in my rush, I pushed the door so hard that it shattered into small pieces. FML
Today, I was walking through my kitchen when I discovered a weak spot in the floor. Tomorrow, I'm going to have to fix the giant hole caused when I put my foot through it. FML
Today, after having my car been broken into the day before because I didn't lock it, I made sure I locked my doors. When I got off shift and entered the parking lot, I noticed a brick had been thrown through my windshield and a note that said, "Nice Try". FML
Today, I was locked out of my house. After hours of trying to break the door, I found out I accidentally left a window open. The door, however, still needs to be replaced. FML
Today, after work, I found my car in the middle of the empty parking lot with a huge crack in the windshield that wasn't there in the morning. Looks like I have to get the windshield replaced. Again. For the fourth time now. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Sounds to me like you need a new 'security' team

It's no wonder your security isn't doing their job well... They left their brains back home when coming to work.

Missed in the inspection is their problem, not yours. Good luck OP.

How does he/she deserve this?

I hope you took lots of photos before any cleanup, that you can use in the battle ahead to get the owner to fix it.

Did you take any photos when you moved in? One might show the window, proving the hole wasn't there. Though the idea that you have to prove it is insane.

I'd be taking lots of photos and using that as a legitimate reason to breach the lease and move to new premises. On a more serious note though - wow this reminds me of Pink Panther movies!

Seriously call the police to report it and try to find the slug and casing. Don't touch the casing if at all possible and let the police recover it. It could tie into another crime. Let that landlord know his security service isn't doing much to make you feel secure by taking such a lax approach about a shooting and ask for all the details like the date, who was the tenant at the time and what they did about it. Check for a police report to prove it was or wasn't a past event and if they say they didn't bother to file one you have them on not following through with their duty in the past and that's not what you were agreeing to when you signed your contract. . Isn't it law they have to disclose that info before you sign any contract? They are in essence admitting there was a shooting and they hid that from you. Check your vacuum bag for tiny glass shards and video it. Ask how many bullet holes does it takes before they repair the glass. Call the previous renter and ask about the bullet incident and why they left and their experience with your landlord. Check for any photo you or friends might have taken also check selfie backgrounds and rental advertisements. Should be pretty easy to prove your case and if not at least you will have a ton of proof if it ever happens again. Stay safe OP. Watch your back and keep an eye on your crooked landlord too.

Forget security- call the cops. Hopefully you have a CCTV system. If not, I suggest you get one.

Probably a bb relax just kids being assholes.
Taolan 23
Most BB guns cannot penetrate the glass used in retail display/viewing windows. High-end ones maybe, but the kids that can afford and will use those are not likely to be assholes. Also a BB is not going to have enough energy to penetrate cleanly, so the hole would not be obviously bullet-like. More than likely this was a drifted round from a shooting nearby, and police would be very interested in recovering the bullet if possible.
