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!

Ditto...it was his responsibility to record the serial before he put it where anyone else could see it! And sorry to say YDI for giving it to someone (boyfriend) that didn't know that!

This sounds a bit fishy if you ask me!

He's probably trying to ask if u knew so you wouldn't report it. He probably sold it for a good profit and no, you're not getting the share.

The suspicion level of the convince on this FML is over 9000

This doesn't sound suspicious at all... As an electronics goods store, he should have recorded the serial number himself for his own store records. It appears to me that he was asking you for the serial number to confirm that you didn't know it/have it recorded and therefore he could get away with it. If you said you did know it, he probably would have magically found it sitting in the dumpster out back or some bullshit. Also, the convenient timing with the cameras being off would make it difficult to get the insurance company to be cooperative.

Ok. I feel bad for you, that's a huge loss in money, but $650 for a gaming laptop is really cheap compared to most of the ones I've seen (I.e. Lenovo, Asus, Alienware)

You need to remember that this is a used gaming laptop, probably a few years old not a brand new top hardware model.
