Today, I got into my car and realised that my CDs were no longer in my glove box. According to the police, the random key code for my car type has been cracked, and thieves can now let themselves in whenever they want. The manufacturer says they can't do anything about it. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got a new CD player for my car and an alarm installed for added security. After work, I saw my windows smashed, the CD player gone, the alarm wires cut, and a note that said, "Try again." FML
Today, I learned that my car alarm only goes off if the car is unlocked a bit forcibly. Doesn't make a sound when some prick breaks the window out in the middle of the night to steal my cd player. FML
Today, my car was broken into. They broke the passenger side window and took my radio system. But they didn't take the remote for it. FML
Today, my auto-repairman told me my heavy mass of keys was bad for the ignition switch and suggested I separate my house and car keys. I began to carry my car keys and lock the house keys in my glovebox. My car was stolen. I now have car keys but no car and a house with no house key. FML
Today, my car was broken into. What was stolen? My steering wheel. FML
Today, I locked my keys in my car. I had a spare key in my wallet, that I also left in the car. FML
Today my car was broken into. The only thing taken were condoms and lighters I had in the glove box. FML
Today, I locked my keys in my car. After looking for the spare key for hours, we called our insurance company, who then sent a "locksmith" with a wedge and a bar to open my car. All he did was break the driver and passenger doorhandles. My stuff is still inside. FML
Today, the little bell in my car that lets you know your keys are still in your ignition went out. How did I find out? I locked myself out of both my house and my car. FML
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

The manufacturer is lying. if they're too lazy to change it then they should disable it which they can also do. Is this a Ford product? If for whatever reason I am wrong, you have a major class-action lawsuit on your hands. Talk to the manager of the car dealership and tell them these things. I guarantee you they will play ball. Under absolutely no circumstances should you have to pay even a dime.

So tell the car company to take out the key code or the device the thieves are using to get in and manually use a key to open and close the car door problem solved genius.

even if your vehicle doesn't use a code or have a chipped key, someone can still easily break in. car manufacturers only make a certain number of different locks and keys. don't remember what the numbers are for any certain manufacturers, but let's say I took my key to a used car lot and tried it in all the doors, if the lot had at least 30 Chevrolet vehicles chances are my key would open at least 2 doors. try it out if any of your friends have the same make vehicle and will let you. oh, some makes will even swap. I know Subaru and ford are capable, not sure of any others.

I second your idea #18 just remove the device that receives a signal from your electronic key and use the locks manually. alternatively, leave nothing in the car. they still need a key to get in.

you don't know what are you talking about. your front door keys cannot open any other lock except the one they are supposed to. its even more conplicated with cars and chip keys

I hope you have them all saved as digital files. Do people still use discs? I'm sorry that happened to you. That's just terrible!

I don't think the CDs are the main concern here.

It should be. CDs are awesome.

Depending on the age of the car, using digital files might not be an option. My car is 8 years old and has a CD/cassette player, but nothing to plug my MP3 player into so I keep burned discs or the original discs (since I have ripped all the songs to my computer, why bother having two copies around?) in my car.

@Galex: If you have a cassette player, then you can get an adapter that looks like a tape on one end and a headphone jack on the other, and use your mp3 player through that. That's what I do, anyways. You can also get FM transmitters that will just broadcast whatever your mp3 player's playing at a frequency you pick, and then you can just tune your radio to the proper station. Good stuff!

I don't even lock my car. Nobody's bothered to steal anything.
illmatic2 16
Same here. My truck is such a piece of shit that nobody even bothers stealing stuff out of it.

I used to live in a bad neighborhood, so I'm used to locking the car. Now I live in this small town where everyone knows and looks out for each other. I keep telling my husband to lock the car, which is a POS and has nothing worth stealing in it anyways and he always says, "What are they gonna steal? Maybe they'll feel sorry and clean out the car." lolz
