Today, I found an empty parking space in a crowded parking lot. When I came back later, a lady and a cop were standing by my car. Her car used to be parked there and got stolen. They think I'm involved. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 couldn't find my car in a mall parking lot. After 30 minutes of searching, I reported it stolen to the mall security. It turns out that I'd parked it on the opposite side of the mall. Security escorted me to my car, all while giving me pitiful looks. 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, I finished my shopping at Costco, and realized I'd forgotten where I had parked. After scouring the parking lot for 20 minutes, I called the police and filed a report for a stolen vehicle. I then remembered I had bought a new car yesterday and parked it right next to the entrance. FML
Today, I came outside to leave for work. To my shock and horror my car was gone. My asshole neighbor, who has parked in my spot multiple times decided to let her noisy guests park in my parking spot, so I parked in hers. She had my car towed. FML
Today, I found a parking spot in front of my work. I parked and another car pulled into the spot just in front of me. The next thing I know, the car in front backs up and slams into my car. Turns out she didn't notice the fire hydrant next to her spot and screamed at me cause I, "stole her spot." FML
Today, I was waiting after work in a parking lot for my ride and was dancing a little to keep warm. Next thing I know the cops pull up to me and said that someone called in to report someone dancing in an empty parking lot. FML
Today, I took the bus after work. When I got to the remote parking lot, I realized my car had been stolen so I called the police to report it. When they came to take a statement and asked me when was the last time I saw my car was, I replied, “This morning, when I drove it to wo… Oh.” FML
Today, I decided I'd take a nap in my car because I got to work very early. As I was waking up from my nap, I saw a cop looking right at me. Turns out, a lady who'd parked her car right next to mine after I was asleep had called the cops on me because she thought I was dead. FML
Today, I was looking for a parking spot and finally found one. Trying to figure out if the spot was legal, I asked a cop that had pulled up. He said it was fine. I came back 3 hours later to a parking ticket. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Whoever stole her car just committed grand theft auto and got away with no stars. Damn Liberty City.

The only place where you can get away with murder. God bless America

OP should be fine. Logic states that someone would be really stupid to steal (or help steal) a car and then park their own car in the same spot. It doesn't matter what they think. Not Guilty until proven.

I think this might be a case of over- reacting on OP's part. The officer may well have asked questions such as, 'When did you arrive here? Did you notice anything suspicious? Was anyone else travelling with you?'. Which are all to be expected but may have led OP to jump to the conclusion that she's under suspicion when she's really not at all.

Logic and police rarely go together.

30, I'm pretty sure OP didn't pull there phone out right as they saw the cop and typed up an FML, they are obviously a suspect.

30, I agree. It's awful all the comments taking shots at the justice system and police. It could be worse. OP could have just gotten executed if they thought he or she was involved. Be happy you can be on the internet and make comments about our legal system, which is directly related to the government, without worrying that the government might see it and come pick you up. If you're going to complain about our legal system, either join it to try making it better or leave the country.

54- very true. In China any negative information about the Chinese Comunist Party that goes up on the internet must be taken down by the ISP. Be glad you live somewhere where there's not a "great firewall" or government censorship.

19, there are many places where you can get away with murder. Many of the many countries in civil wars have no law.

#1 I honestly don't think the OP has anything to worry about. It's standard procedure to assume anyone linked to the crime could be guilty. I'm sure the police realize there isn't much chance though, and are just covering their bases.

No chain of evidence, OP is clear. They shouldn't have even suspected him in the first place.

I can't tell which country the original poster is from but, if she's from the U.S., lots of people like to assume/blame random people until they get answers. I feel badly for the cop who probably felt like it was a waste of time. (I'm assuming the missing car's owner already contacted the police when she first found out her car was stolen.)

False assumptions.. Tsktsk.

That's what I call being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
peachesncreem 21
More like wrong space at the wrong time.. Get it? Space.. Parking "space"! Oh, I'm a crack up. Ok, back to my corner I go..

Can't understand how you would steal a car to only place your own car in it's place.. .
onlychildFTW 34
Yeah I agree with you. Just because you are parked where their car was doesn't mean you had anything to do with it. Who would steal someone's car just for a parking space. Seems like an awful amount of work for little reward. And while steeling this car where would you put your car? Just leave it hanging around. And then after stealing it you would have to drive out of your way to hide it and then somehow get back to where you parked, while having no car. This is one of those "not worth the reward" things.

Well clearly it was a good parking space and so OP called up some friends, waited 45 min for them to get there and steal the car, and then parked his/her own car there and walked the short distance into the building therefore saving walking time...I mean duh
lauramce_97 0
Yeah, because people steal cars, then they take there parking spaces. Good Luck anyways

Where parking spaces?
that_band_nerd 22
The ones closest to the store of course!

I hope someone spoke on your behalf... innocent until proven guilty would be applied in this situation you'd think.

"You'd think" being the operative expression here. But a lot of times it seems to be the other way around with the way that some cops treat people. In fact, when my father was arrested and jailed, his friend/attorney came to pick him up. One of the people who worked at the station said to her, word for word, "Well, in [this] county, people are guilty until proven innocent!"

That is one way to make your trip to the mall more enjoyable -- take a car thief with you, have him steal a car to get you a choice parking spot, let him drive the stolen car to a nearby chop shop, then you meet him later and blow the loot at GameStop, Cinnabon, Orange Julius and Lane Bryant. Sounds like a plan!

how do you always come up with such awesome comments?
perdix 31
It helps that I happen to know a lot of car thieves and I feel that I look my best in plus-sized women's clothing. I'm not a tranny, but when you're dealing with moobs, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do ;)

I'm with 82. I want to see Perdix wearing a bra to hold down his moobs. Why not make what Kramer did on Seinfeld and where a bro, for full time support and comfort?

Why would they think that... It's not like thieves stay close to where they committed their crime.
egc573 40
Well, smart thieves don't. But never underestimate the stupidity of people. The OP's situation is a great example of this.
