Today, I came home to find that my mother had sold all my valuable collector coins for cheap at a local shady pawn shop to buy herself a TV. The coins in question were worth enough to start a business. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out my mother-in-law sold a precious family heirloom and gambled away the money. FML
Today, I got home and found my kids playing with my coin collection. My wife told me to stop being grouchy because it’s not like they’re silver and gold. No, but they were all mint condition, some of them very rare, and every scratch the kids just put on them has halved their value or worse. FML
Today, I discovered that my parents rooted through our house looking for junk to sell at a garage sale. They sold all of my books from my bookshelf. When I freaked, out my mom said 'well you never read them'. There was about $300 hidden between the pages of those books. They made $60. FML
Today, my mom sold my watch collection on Vinted. I've spent over 15 years on the collection and I don't even live with my mom. I'm still wondering how she got in. FML
Today, I was at work when my mother called. She gave me great news that she had finally cleaned out my room and all those "old and useless" books that I had in there. Those "useless" books that she had just trashed were all antiques and worth about $500 each. There were 27 books in there. FML
Today, I came home and was greeted by my dad telling me that he pawned my guitar for gas money. FML
Today, I decided I'd sell an old motorcycle I had, in order to help with the bills. I had to be at work at the time when an interested buyer was to show up, so I entrusted my mother with the exchange as she's unemployed. Mom pocketed the money and bought a new freezer for her house, and won't pay me back. FML
Today, my mother sold my extensive Star Wars collection, and I cried when I found out. I'm 46. FML
Today, I discovered that the ancient looking coin I dug up in my front yard is worth hundreds of dollars. Too bad I found that coin when I was eight years-old, and have since misplaced it. FML
Today, while paying for groceries, I opened my wallet to find that all my cash had been exchanged for Monopoly money. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Return the TV, get a refund, sell the coins for a lot, and buy her 10 new TVs.
Torva_fml 16
You have a couple days to get your items back? I think it's like a week?
Keyman1212 14
Report them stolen. Not only will you get your collection back, your mom will get in trouble to boot!
enonymous 9
OP do/did you have the one where Obama said justice has been done and it pictures seal team 6? If not I'd recommend starting your collection with that one first
soccerguy2 11
35 & 62- that may be a good idea but if op is under 18 or whatever it may be in his or her country then the mom might be legally allowed to take.
kjcookie10 9
Take your mother to the local street corner. Act as her pimp and sell her off until she makes back all the money that those coins were worth. Problem solved!
ALLDAY88 8
Time to sell her ass on the street, what a dumb bitch.
DreBeezy 9
Well if the coins were worth enough to start a business, that pawn shop won't be so shady anymore.....

Sometimes, I think that some mothers should just be punched once or twice in the face really hard for their stupidity.

Time to sell her tv and/or gold jewelry!

Maybe OP should have started a business and made more money. YDI

@146 Perhaps the OP's mother *should* go to jail.

At least you can buy them back from the pawn shop for what she sold them for, plus interest. Return the TV so you can get them back.

Similar experience like this.. Mom sold a gift my girlfriend had gotten me because "she didn't think I'd like it."

Take a hammer and smash the TV
lalaland05 0
That is a dumb idea op's mom just gave away the coin and bought a TV I would not want to see a brand new TV get smashed!
bitchslapped22 14
Then they have nothing, might as well keep the TV
Dark__Angel66 24
OP should take the tv. ;)

Pie hmm..What flavor?.....PIE FLAVOR!!!!
antmanzero 8
@93 He'd probably kill me. "For the best of the world." Or because my face is too ugly. Or he got bored. OR because he ate a meat pie, only to realize it was made from OP's mom's heart and other organs.
antmanzero 8
@93 Doc does trauma, anyways. Now, if I got hit by a car, ran over by a bus, landed on by a plane, slapped by a dragon, etcetc, THEN I'd see him. Brb, gotta find a dragon...

Um yeah...I don't do crazy.
antmanzero 8
So I figured. Excuse me, I have some pies to make.
xSonic 9
LOL you and pies....

@186 Oh, you should try my milkshakes, they're made with orphan's souls. Not the ginger orphans, though. We all know gingers don't have souls. Now, I'll add this cuz some tards will think I'm serious. If people have souls, I'm 96.3% sure gingers have souls, too. :3

You should pawn her tv
Torva_fml 16
And then he'd screw himself out of even more money.... Great idea, I but you put as much thought into that as OP's mom.
ZDK5498 6
your mom is an inconsiderate bitch and should have left your coins alone!
horsegirl331 6
Lol nice one and one question what r u doing in profile pic?
LMFAOallthetime 8
Ditto to that!
girl112891 7
Just ouch! Ouch! Why do mothers go touching our things to begin with??????? Find a way to get those coins back and then put a legit lock on your door. My boyfriend's a collector. I know not to touch those coins, so should your mother!

it would probably beed some new batteries though.
Torva_fml 16
Used ***** huh? Sounds like something I'd buy in a pawn shop.
G0v3nat0r 7
Sell the tv she bought.
Calyx_fml 22
Actually, if you file a complaint with the police that they were stolen then you can get them back. Of course that means that your mom gets sent up to the Dyke Prison.
jonriise18 3
Wow. FYL. If this is true I would go to pawn shop and threaten legal action. Say they purchased stolen property. Tell em you have an attorney. Hopefully if u make a fuss they'll decide it's easier for them to take tv back and return coins. But idk. That sucks OP.
lisey517 2
DO THIS! When you sell things at a pawn shop you sign something swearing the property is yours. You may be able to take legal action.

...You mean take the money back, right? She sold the coins to buy a TV, it wasn't an even trade.
ThecomingofTan 9
I never understood why people never do their research on how much collector coins are really worth, but I guess people love getting ****** over.
downtime 13
You say this like most people who have collector coins are completely oblivious to their value...More importantly, you know a lot of these people...You move in odd circles, sir.
