Today, I went bowling. I noticed a 10-year-old holding an iPod Touch which had the exact same customized case with my name on it as my iPod that was stolen a year ago at the same bowling centre. Even better, the parents yelled at me for accusing him. I got kicked out the bowling centre. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my "friend" came over. I caught him trying to steal my iPod on the way out. Proud of myself for catching him, I asked him to leave, only to realize that I had forgotten to actually take the iPod back from him before he left. FML
Today, I found a purse in the school bathroom. When I looked inside, there was an iPod along with some other expensive stuff in it. I took it to the office so the right owner would get it back. The owner passed me in the hall on the way there; she freaked out and punched me in the face. FML
Today, I found the iPod touch that my mother claimed was stolen at the mall a few years ago, lying on her bed, still logged in to her Facebook. Thanks, mom. FML
Today, I was caught stealing a video game. I realized after my parents were called that the case was actually empty. FML
Today, I had three things stolen: my phone, my iPod, and my girlfriend. All by the same guy. FML
Today, I went bowling. The guy at the lane next to us was bowling by himself and had a few of his own bowling balls, and he had one that looked like a yin-yang and it looked very cool spinning down the lane into the pins. Not really thinking, I casually said to him, "Hey, I like your balls." FML
Today, my boyfriend stole a guy's cookie. As revenge, he stole my iPod. FML
Today, my little brother came into my room and hit me over the head with his baseball bat. He then dropped the bat onto my floor and ran crying into my mother's room proclaiming I stole his bat and beat him with it for fun. FML
Today, while I was walking across a bridge, a prepubescent middle schooler grabbed my phone from my hand and threw it into the water. His friend filmed it, high-fived him, and they both ran off. I got that phone less than a week ago. FML
Today, I went bowling with my friends. As I was about to take my turn, my friend came up behind me and yelled in my ear, "Don't mess up!" Startled, I dropped the ball on my foot. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Some parents don't deserve to be parents

They went back to the scene of the crime without even trying to disguise the stolen goods? FYL

Sad, pathetic FML. You saw your stolen property and allowed it to still be kept from you because of protective parents and ******* bowling alley employees? Grow a pair

Why not call police?

That's ridiculous! Your iPod isn't worth getting into a fight with those people...

An iPod is not just a worthless electronic device. It's social connection, it's the strong emotions you feel watching videos on it, it's the buddy that travels with you in your journeys and probably most importantly it brings the music you love. It's not just an iPod, it's his iPod.

How is anything worth over $150 NOT worth trying to get back? Are you that rich that you can just throw it about? If so then well good for you, but for the rest of us, buying something that's as expensive as say an Ipod or another music player/phone/tablet, is a much bigger deal. When I got my Ipod it was about $200, now I dunno what model OP has, but it's still costly. With many jobs making only $7.5 an hour, maybe up to $10 dollars an hour do the math on how many hours you gotta work your ass off to make the kind of money it takes to buy a costly electronic device.

I'm not super rich, I just find that certain things are more important than money...

forget everything! Jack that kid! steal it back by brute force, and run for it. you won't get in trouble if you don't get caught!

For something like that, keep the receipts. Also wouldn't hurt to have records of the serial number registered with Apple and iTunes. Then you should be able to track it with those if lost or stolen. People have been doing that when stuff disappears when traveling abroad. TSA employees have been busted a lot lately from stealing stuff like that when people use tracking systems. Learn from that, and best of luck OP!

It could still be a coincidence. The kid could have the same name as you. The only way you could know is by looking at the serial. My question is, why didn't you have it canceled with apple? They could've stopped it from working for him.

Snatch the iPod and run

You just handled it wrong. Should have waited until the kid set it down and stole it back. I used to go to this pool hall. My favorite green corduroy jacket (with three spots of hot pink fabric paint, from an accident, on the sleeve) went missing one night. I was back in the pool hall 4 months later for an event. Sitting at my table, my friends and I notice this jacket on the back of chair that looks just like the one I lost. Upon examination, there were the pink paint stains on the sleeve, so we casually picked it up when no one was looking and walked out the door. I still have my jacket now, lol

Has anybody else thought that maybe the kids name was the same, and a year ago the parents saw it and stole it, then gave it to their son as a gift? Of course they would yell and make a scene to avoid being busted in front of their kid.
