Today, I learned that the gentleman who found my wallet was not satisfied with the $300 cash and forged a check for a washer and dryer. I found out when I checked my account. It cleared. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found a $100 bill on the ground and was thinking, "I'm so lucky!!" I opened my wallet to find that $300 was missing. I looked back and saw some guy picking up $300. FML
Today, I found a wallet on the sidewalk and spent an hour tracking down the owner. When I finally returned it, he opened it, counted the cash in front of me, and asked if I was sure there hadn't been more money in it. FML
Today, after weeks of allowing my parents to borrow money, I got a check for $2000. I took it to the bank only to find out it was fake. FML
Today, I lost my wallet while out shopping. Panicked, I retraced my steps and found it at a store, turned in by an employee. Grateful, I opened it to find a note that read, "We left the money but took one dollar for karma." I checked. They did actually take one dollar. FML
Today, my brother finally paid me the $60 he owed me. I later found out that he'd stolen those $60 from my wallet. FML
Today, I found out that I accidentally returned a customer her $147 check she had written out to pay for her groceries and receive cash back. The lady got free groceries and money, and I'm now losing my job. FML
Today, I went to the grocery store where I work to pick up my pay check. After I got it, I headed back to the dorms to take a quick nap before Chemistry later. I woke up, and my check was gone. I later found it. In the form of a text from my roommate saying he gambled away 'our' money. FML
Today, my husband got paid. I checked our bank account and was shocked to see we'd only received $300. I called him, insisting that there was some mistake. He said he'd started a new bank account in his name so he could manage our money on his own, and the $300 was my "allowance". I now want a divorce. FML
Today, I found that there were charges of almost 2,000 dollars on my bank account. Some asshole in Florida stole my money. I have bills and that was money I saved to buy myself a new car. FML
Today, I was going to do some laundry, with the washer and dryer I bought off of Craigslist for 150 dollars. The washer leaks and the dryer doesn't dry. So I called the guy and left an angry message about how the washer flooded my kitchen. I'd actually just forgot to hook up the drain hose. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Call your bank, and report identity theft. Hopefully, the store will have security cameras, and the police will catch the son of a bitch.

I'm actually surprised. Most stores, if they even take checks, require the person to provide ID

They had their wallet, so.

yes but they don't have OPs face

So, are you suggesting that OP’s wallet was stolen by his “twin”?

It's possible the store didn't look very closely at the ID.

The bank is responsible for letting the cheque go through!

The business is responsible for accepting the check. It was up to them to check and verify ID.

I guess the fellow got sick of manually draining his old one.

Call your bank and tell them the whole story. They should give you back the money and try to chase down the forger.

At least he’ll be able to do some good money laundering.

Usually only small stores with or without check scanners train employee's to check an ID as well but alot of large corporate chain store's simply just scan check and say have a nice day because it holds up the line and costs more to train them to check ID's.

This sounds strange. Who keeps checks in their wallet?
