Today, my boyfriend called me to ask if I knew the serial number for my laptop. I had given him my $650 gaming laptop to sell in his electronics store because I didn't need it and could use the money. Apparently it was stolen at some point yesterday and his cameras were turned off. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, the man who stole my laptop at the train station yesterday used the contact information I had written on it to call me and ask for the password. FML
Today, I walked into pawn shop and found a nice laptop which I inspected after I thought I lost mine months ago. Turns out my ex pawned it after having it at her place all this time. FML
Today, a "friend" tried to sell me a digital camera that I recognized that was stolen from my home a week earlier, along with a few other things. FML
Today, somebody broke in to my house and stole my laptop, which had years worth of family photos on it. Where was I when it was stolen? At Staples, buying supplies that included CDs to finally back up my pictures. FML
Today, I stayed at my boyfriend's house after mine was broken into. The robber took my laptop, jewellery, and tons of clothes. When I walked into his house, I was greeted by his brother, wearing one of my stolen shirts. FML
Today, I got my laptop back after lending it to my friend. It wouldn't boot, and after investigating I found out it'd been stripped of its hard drive and all its memory. When I confronted my "friend", he accused me of lying and trying to ruin his reputation. FML
Today, my neighbour casually mentioned that he sold my car's GPS that I'd let him borrow. He figured I wouldn't be needing it anymore since I lost my license. FML
Today, I came home to find that my roommate had picked my lock and stolen my new laptop. When I tried to take it back, he called the police. They sided with him since he had also taken the receipt, which was "proof" that it was his. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were chatting on MSN. He had to go run down to the corner market but left his webcam on. Shortly after he left I watched his mother steal 60 dollars out of his wallet. He doesn't believe me. FML
Today, I visited my girlfriend's apartment for the first time. I guess she forgot to do some spring cleaning before I showed up, because I saw my laptop on her couch. The same laptop that was stolen from my house along with several other valuables last week. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

His cameras being turned off sounds awful convenient... I do hope you get your laptop back.

I hope that you/his store have theft insurance because that's a pretty substantial loss!

Oh look, I'm finally first. That must suck though, OP. At least you didn't need it anymore (that's not to say you didn't want it)
CATastroph1c 22
ur not first, sorry

Sorry OP, I hope the money wasn't absolutely essential.

Ha, the first thing you do when you get a laptop is memorise the serial number, apparently. FYL.

I don't think anyone does this...

That's the whole point ...

I write them all down and put them in my safe, this way if something happens, I have that info. It has helped get back a few items of mine or the kids that has been stolen over the years

I was thinking the same thing about the convenience of it all
ThatHorse 15
I was thinking the same thing too. It sounds awfully convenient that the security cameras were off at the time of the theft.

Are you applying that the boyfriend stole the OP's laptop? Him asking if she knows the serial number, sounds like he might be filling out a police report.

Applying? Really? I hope your brain just went and had a nap whilst you were typing Implying.

Yep. I think the boyfriend wants to keep that $650 for himself.

#22 my mind went straight to the thought that he was checking that she didn't in fact know the serial number so that it wouldn't come back to bite him in the ass. But maybe that's because my criminology course has taught me that coincidences are unlikely and it's almost always the boyfriend.

easy money says the bf or one of his friends has more cash now. probably someone he knows.

23, sometimes phones "correct" words, and she might have not noticed that "implying" was changed with "applying".

#48 I've yet to see statistical evidence of that rape and murder tend to occur via aquatiances and exes DA is always the bf...because it can't be others either way is there actual evidence that "it's always the boyfriend" they teach to always LOOK at the spouse first but that's for both genders not just guys

Sorry, I hope you get it back. Did you at least save the save files elsewhere?.

I would assume that since OP gave it to her boyfriend to sell it in his store, yes, she did.
PandaSmile 24
Doesn't the store have insurance or something to cover costs like that. Sounds a little suspicious to me
