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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Today, I tried to unlock my house's front door by hitting the unlock button on my car keys. It took me some time to realize my mistake. 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 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
Today, in a rush to get out of my house to go to a doctor's appointment, I closed the door behind me without having my house or car keys on me. Sadly, it took me less than a minute to break into my own house. FML
Today, I sneaked out of work early. I tripped over my own feet while walking up to my car. As I fell, I managed to hit the panic button on my car keys, setting off my car alarm while I lay flat on the ground in the parking lot. FML
Today, while driving, I realized I had left my phone on top of my car when I was getting in. Panicking, I drove back to look for it. I found it in the middle of the street, still intact. Yay! When I went back to my car, I noticed I had locked my door, and the keys were in the ignition. FML
Today, I was walking to my car from my workplace. When I was about 20 feet from my car, a guy who was clearly on drugs yelled at me and stole my keys and car. Right before leaving the parking lot, he hit a stop sign and then yelled that my car was broken and ran off. 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, while driving home, I realized I forgot my house key. Luckily, when I arrived home, someone had already broken into my house. Guess I didn't need the key. FML

Don't unlock your car until you can see it!!! That is common sense 101 my friend.

Thank you for helping our fellow criminals do their jobs much more easily. You are indeed great help to the criminal law enforcement workers. We need more citizens like you.

That sucks a whole lot. I unlock my car before I've reached it, too... but I would like to think I would notice someone breaking into it.

You never unlock your car with a button, it gives so many opportunities for theft! The first thing I did when I got my new car was pull the safety out to make sure it doesn't work.

Fail. Unlock your car when you're right next to it.

Haha, I was JUST thinking about this exact situation yesterday! No lie. Although, I was looking at it from a 'stealing the car' perspective and it doesn't work so well, but I hadn't even considered just stealing someone's stuff! Oh goodness, FYL.

keyless entry systems are designed with short range for this reason. most don't even reach to more than 20 yards. you say you unlocked it across the parking lot, which is unlikely. this is fake
