Today, I found out that one of my best mates had his backpack, clothes, and everything else in it stolen at an airport overseas. I was feeling sorry for him all day. It took me 9 hours to remember that I actually loaned him my backpack for his trip. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I arrived at the airport only to find my suitcase was lost and my 3 weeks worth of clothes and supplies gone. All I had left was my wallet and carry ons. Upon leaving the airport I was mugged. FML
Today, I fell asleep with my luggage at a bus terminal. Upon waking up, I found that someone had opened my bags and stolen all my socks. FML
Today, I was heading out for my flight to Australia. I'd put a padlock on my luggage to keep my wallet and passport safe, only to realize way too late that I'd left the key at home. I couldn't get at my passport and ended up missing my flight and my whole vacation along with it. FML
Today, I was the only passenger on a completely booked flight to have all their luggage left behind in another country. FML
Today, my roommate asked me for help finding her wallet because it’s been lost for days. I helped a bit, but it never turned up. I left to go to my boyfriend’s house as I'd planned. Guess whose wallet I found laying on the ground next to his night-stand? And why it was there… FML
Today, I was helping my friend pack her carry on for her vacation. I drove her to the airport, and after her plane took off, I noticed I put my cell phone in her purse. Her vacation is 2 months long. FML
Today, my fiancé forgot his wallet. He realized this once we were 5 hours away from home, before checking into a hotel, that had reservations under his name. FML
Today, my purse was stolen. Too bad it had all of my money and my passport. My flight is tomorrow, and the embassy is closed until Monday. Guess who gets to stay in a foreign country with no money and no identification for the next three days. FML
Today, I was proud of myself for remembering my wallet, keys and phone before leaving for the airport. I got all the way to security before realizing I’d left my passport on the kitchen table, right next to the travel mug I also forgot to bring. FML
Today, after getting booked off work for being sick, I go to work anyway. On the way home, I stop by a colleagues fairwell, being the paranoid type of guy I make sure my car is locked about 3-4 times and head in. Later I get home to find my laptop has been stolen from my boot with my medication. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Wow, you are aware he most likely didn't mean a crappy little 'backpack' right? OP most likely means one of those £500-800 GBP hiking packs, some of which cost even more because you need them fitted to your body. Most certainly costing more than his friends stuff, unless he has stupid taste in clothes. FYL for OP and his friend.

Exactly! He doesn't mean some stupid school pack. Hiking/backpacking packs can be really expensive and the OP's friend didn't loose EVERYTHING HE HAD. The guy was on a trip, he likely lost all of the clothes with him and his wallet (If the friend's Passport was stolen too, that was just an idiot move to not always have it on your person). All of that is probably replaceable for less than what the backpack cost. OP, just tell your friend when he gets back that, while you understand the that it was stolen and the situation isn't totally his fault, you expect him to replace it. You lent it to him in good faith; he let it stolen and should then replace it.

But, if he claims it back on insurance, he gets his money back. But his friend wouldn't get his sentimental things back.. Anyway, i mean it sucks bags cost that much and he got it stolen, but he shouldn't have lent it to his friend if it was that expensive. Not that i don't feel bad for OP, but just making some points that may not have been mentioned.
