Today, I couldn't see my car in a crowded car park. I pressed unlock on my keys and saw the lights flash. As I walked over I also saw someone run from my car with an armful of my stuff. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my keys disappeared out of my car door during the 50 foot walk to the trash can. When I finally went to security after trying to find them, they said someone drove off with my car right as I walked in the door. FML
Today, I was playfully walking back to my car with my girlfriend. My door was unlocked. I then noticed my car had stuff scattered inside. A bum had just robbed and ransacked my car. FML
Today, I lost my keys while at the supermarket. I franticly back-tracked through the store, asking everyone I saw along the way. They eventually showed up, right where I left them... in my unattended car, the engine still running. There was an announcement made over the PA system. FML
Today, I accidentally left the handbrake off in my car, got out, locked it, and started walking away. Then I heard a loud noise and looked over my shoulder and the car was gone. Of course, it hit the only other car parked in the street. FML
Today, I was walking to my car when I saw a large man walking behind me. I hurried to open my car as he was approaching quickly, but the door wasn't unlocking and I panicked. I then realized that it wasn't even my car. As I walked away from it, he walked up and unlocked the door. FML
Today, I parked my car to go inside to grab my wallet than I'd forgotten. In the short time it took me to do that, someone broke two of my car's windows. FML
Today, I was leaving the mall. I Instinctively hit the unlock button on my car keys from across the parking lot. Little did I know I was making it a whole lot easier for the guy breaking into my car. FML
Today, I locked my car. I put the key in my bag when suddenly my car began to roll backwards. I tried to get the key out of my bag but couldn't find it, and with the other hand I tried to stop the car. The worst thing was that some dumbass was watching me and didn't help. FML
Today, after a long workout I come back to my locker, to find my lock had been cut. I looked inside realizing my phone and iPod had been stolen. If that wasn't bad enough, my keys were gone. I ran out to the parking lot to find an empty spot where my car had once been parked. FML
Today, I locked my keys in the car while the car was running because I got out to get the parking ticket attached to my windshield. FML

I choose to believe you are joking. If not, there's no hope for humanity.

@22 I hope so too. It looked like he had a stroke while typing that.
tj4234 36
If you think she is a he then it must have been some stroke...

It's that "omg I have to be first" rush that causes comments like this. That's why I always read the ones toward the bottom. Those are usually better.

Right? I press the lock key so I can hear my car's beep too, in case I can't see it. Like if it's sunny out and I may not notice the lights flash anyway.

@46 My car doesn't make a sound when I lock it, perhaps the same goes for OP.
Fureq 4
But then they can unlock it and hear for the sound again so it makes sense locking it

I thought this is what the Panic Button was for.
Mauskau 36
Panic button? They have those on cars? 8) I just have lock, unlock and a button to only unlock the boot(trunk).
demonpuppeh 10
Mine doesn't have a panic button, but my remote access is also aftermarket and not a standard item on the model I have
PhinIt2WinIt 24
#77, its the button that activates the car alarm, usually a red button on the remote

Should've locked it immediately.
Talonshere 14
Although it makes sense now. I highly doubt someone would think of this situation happening if they are half a minute from their car.
tantanpanda 26
That's why you press the lock button to see where your car is. Really, it still beeps the same.
ThatHorse 15
Or the car alarm. Literally nobody pays attention to a standard car alarm these days because so many people use the alarm to locate the car.
MELKOZAR 27
Sorry OP. Hope things get better for ya!

Ouch. People are lowlife jerks sometimes. Don't understand how you can, in any good mind, steal another's property.
ComoEsJuan 24
You've made a key mistake, OP.
polishguy05 15
Damn that sucks hopefully there might be cameras nearby so you'll have a better chance at least

I always lock my car, over and over, when I can't find it.. The beeping from locking it makes it a lot easier than the blinkers flashing, try that next time!
False_Stupidity 42
Some cars don't beep when locked, just flash the lights or turn indicators.

Well you're from Australia so that's pretty normal right?
gosh_mate 30
I hope this is a joke and not ignorance ...
fordneagles 34
Jeez there's been a lot of bullshit comments about Australia lately. Makes you sound pretty ignorant when you say shit like that.
Ichiya 29
At least now you know how Americans feel.
PenguinBitch 44
Australia has been ranked the Happiest place to live. So you sir are wrong.
mishwarner 14
Yeah, rampant crime, high levels of unemployment and poverty because the wages and economy are so bad, plus lots of guns. Australia is really a crap place to live, wait no, that's America. We're the lucky country, thank god for unions and fewer conservatives ;)
MalekiMaker99 22
#88 totally left out American cheese

Get in your car and chase after them. Trust me, it works. They'll give you your stuff back
