Today, I was working at the Soup Kitchen handing out special christmas dinners to the homeless. At the end of the day I collected my things and went home. It was only then I discovered that my wallet, phone, pager and (for some reason) my glasses has been stolen. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was volunteering at a soup kitchen and was advised to leave my wallet and cell phone in my car so they wouldn’t be stolen. Someone broke into my car and stole them. FML
Today, I was entertaining people during an extra curricular school function in order to help "brighten people's spirits in their time of need." After it was all over, I found out that my phone had been stolen. FML
Today, the police called because someone had turned in my wallet that was stolen. I happily drove home only to find that my house had been robbed and ransacked. FML
Today, I went to the store to buy some groceries. Several hours later I realize that I can't find my wallet. After looking all over my house and then the store parking lot, I had my credit cards cancelled. On the drive home, I feel something under me. It was my wallet. 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
Today, I gave a short presentation at a neighborhood watch event to raise awareness about pickpocketing and to give tips on how to avoid becoming a victim of it. After I got back home, I realized my wallet was missing from my pocket. FML
Today, I came home to find that my house had been broken into. The items stolen were my PS3, cell phone, laptop, tablets, and for some reason my deodorant and pillowcases as well. FML
Today, I was excited to start my new job. It was only when I was leaving after a long 8-hour day did I realize all of the personal documents I had I brought in for paperwork had been stolen. I'm now down a passport, social security card, and wallet. Great first day. FML
Today, after volunteering all day at the homeless shelter, I was mugged on my way to my car. FML
Today, after quite a long work day, I got home to find my house had been broken into. Everything but my sleeping boyfriend was gone. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

wtf is a pager

There's this absolutely amazing invention called Google. I see you do not accept taking advantage of it's oracular and omniscient qualities. This new-fangled thing is what I advise you use in the times you require knowledge. Okay, now onto the subject: OP, why did you leave your stuff next to a bunch of people that have nothing? Your participation of serving soup to the homeless was probably appreciated by most, but you must realise, when you can take advantage of something (#13 is slowly learning to take advantage of Google, I see . . .) it is human nature to make an act. However moral it may be. Furthermore, do you not keep your stuff with you normally? You should always be close to your luggage and possessions , regardless of how aware you are of your surroundings and how much you trust the people around you.

I had a feeling that people who were on this app at the time this story was written were at least old enough to probably remember pagers. I guess I was wrong.

Yeah, this is a FYL, for sure, but see it from the homeless eyes. It's a F their L too.

YDI for trusting people, this shows you that homeless people will accept your help but they will stab you in the back if it suites them.

What do you want to bet that it wasn't even one of the homeless people?

I am absolutely disgusted that most people are jumping to the conclusion that it was someone who is e homeless that stole your possessions. There are a lot of people who would be working at the soup kitchen as well and it could have been anyone of them. I have worked in various shelters for 3+ years and have never had anything stolen from me. People need to stop being so prejudicial and realize that people who are not homeless are just as likely to steal as those who are. From experience, your belongings would not be in an area where your clientele would have access to, which makes it more likely that it was a co-worker who stole your belongings.

"I have worked in various shelters for 3+ years and have never had anything stolen from me." What does that prove? All it says is the people you helped were different. That is no way to tell us that it's unlikely the homeless stole from her. Also, if you have nothing - if you sleep in the cold without much coin - hungry, possibly in the rain would you steal from people? If you had a rather nice life, a mobile phone, a relatively nice apartment would you need to steal your colleague's glasses and phone? We cannot prove anything . . . Admittedly. I doubt a colleague would have any need for such items, and therefore would not need to steal them, which is why it's logical to assume one of the homeless people stole the items. Sorry, if I seemed slightly aggressive. :S

Nightlilies, if you've worked with homeless people for over 3 years and they haven't tried to steal any of your stuff, that says more about the quality of your possessions than it does about the integrity of the homeless people. In other words... your stuff is so undesirable that apparently not even homeless people want it.
