Today, my apartment was robbed by my landlord. Her logic? "I own the building, and therefore everything in it." That TV cost more than my rent. FML
Eragons_Mommy92 tells us more.
This is mine. we did call the cops. we have to prove its our tv so now we have to find the receipt from 2 years ago. her whole family is into illegal shit. her son got arrested recently for forging the mayors signature. we intend on moving as soon as we find an available apartment.

Call the cops, man. That ain't legal.

Start stealing from her suite. When she confronts you, say it's not stolen because it's still in "her" building.

Seriously. That is not ok to do.

Looks like you're gonna need a new place to live soon.

Call the 5-0. She'll have to return everything or pay restitution. That's illegal.
KILLERTOAST13 4
No. 21. For a second I thought you said that she would have to pay with prostitution
BeaterOfTheDrums 15
Ha restitution? My so called "friend" stole my iPod 3 years ago, we went to court over it, and i have yet to see any restitution. The only way it got replaced was me going out and paying for it.

No. 47 Wow, what a waste of the courts time. That probably cost the tax payers 20 iPods.

You went to court over an iPod?? That's pathetic dude you don't deserve restitution for that

Damn right!
BeaterOfTheDrums 15
When 800$ is stolen(300$ iPod, 500+ songs) from me, he should pay it back.
comedybreak 20
Unless you signed a contract allowing him too it's illegal because when you rent, the rent basically means it your property temporarily
Jakesterk96 8
103-The songs in your iPod should still be in your computer so you didn't lose that $500.
BeaterOfTheDrums 15
Nope he took it before I could back any of it up.
_Oblivion_ 12
Get some balls and get your shit back. It shouldn't be too hard to fight that in court.
KiddNYC1O 22
Should've backed it up! YDI. =P

ITunes holds a record of every purchase on your account, you can't purchase without an account, none of it was lost at all.

47. There's a difference between petty theft and felony theft. This is definitely felony theft.

Sounds like your average slumlord. I've rented many houses, and something like this has never happened to me.. Not yet anyways. It's illegal to go into the house without permission, and it's illegal to take what's not rightfully yours. Every time I've rented, I've contacted my landlord and informed them that the locks will be changed, and when my contract is up they can have the new key. They can only claim what is added on to the house or apartment itself, not what is inside. OP, you really need to fight this.

You actually went to court over a ******* ipod!

#235 I think that part of the conversation is already over.
insomniac8400 13
the songs weren't stolen you still have them
MidnaLink 35
271 you clearly didn't read any of the other comments, he didn't get a chance to back it up.
Lct1196 31
You do realize that his "friend" would have to pay the fee, not the government...
willis123 3
#275, you don't have to back it up itunes and Google play have a record of every thing you have bought or loaded onto your iPod , even songs that are from a cd

Wow FYL thats terrible op.
tennisrapper1 14
OPs landlord is either: 1). A bitch or 2). Just really, really stupid.
SuperKnuckels 6
no shit thats terrible. why would you even comment.
odexy 12
Why even comment if you're just gonna bitch at someone for no reason and not even say anything relevant to the fml? But yeah, I really don't get how someone could possibly have the mindset of OP's landlord. It's pretty much common sense that you can't just take someone's things. Ever.

32, 33 - Wow, calm down. Would you have preferred for him to say something like: "omgz i'm totezz first", or at least a little sympathy?
onlychildFTW 34
Hmmm. Time to call the fuzz, 5-0, cops, police. Call some form of law enforcement. Get your tv back, get her to go to jail for felony theft. I hope you did this the second you found out she took your tv
Sora_McKain 36
#29 or both right?

I don't know, it seems pretty logical to me :D your kids live in my apartment? I get to use them as slaves muahahah

I would get so mad, first I would move my stuff out into a truck I would rent. second I would splatter paint everything and make it look ugly as ****. Third, I would leave, and never go back.
Awesome58422599 19
Fourth you'd lose your Security Deposit, and fifth you'd probably not get that TV back.
crazychick1269 7
Steal in back and switch it with a fake one?
Mafish 3
Sounds like a plan, Sherlock. You've obviously put so much thought in it!
KiddNYC1O 22
I'd change the locks and add multiple ones. First I'd take legal action.

spazz666 18
Generally switching locks or adding any in an apartment complex will cause you to become defect of your agreement and you can therefore be evicted. Not so smart. Look over the lease agreement, see if it says anything about security of your belongings and then call the police. She will have one hell of a court hearing if all she has for reasoning is "It was in my building, so I own it." because technically you are temporarily buying the place, and therefore you own that section, not her.
lightwater2520 7
She can't legally do that.

If she owns everything in the building, wouldnt that mean she owns you? No. Some people make no sense...

True...some people really make no sense...including you.

Enough sense to have been quoted.

EveryTHING. Not everyONE. Agreed that the landlord is a bit touched in the head, though.

Some people would rather rent than to own. That has nothing to do with priorities.

I think they are trying to say instead of posting an fml they should be filing a report with the police

KeyboardWarrior 10
It's okay! It's not stealing, it's borrowing without permission!
RandomComments 6
So theoretically, she just moved the TV from one room to another
RandomComments 6
Dang so many thumbs down. Come on, I wasn't serious, it was sarcasm towards her logic! xD
Jakesterk96 8
It's "borrowing".
