Today, my business got broken into and I lost a lot of valuable equipment. Although I have 24/7 security guards, they left in the middle of the burglary because they were too scared to stop the burglars or even to call the police. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
Today, my house was broken into and my computer was stolen. Fortunately, I have cloud backups of all my work; unfortunately, hardware prices have gone through the roof and I won't be able to replace that computer soon. FML
Today, my house was broken into. The burglar didn't steal my brand new laptop, iPad or TV. They instead made off with every single item of clothing I own. When I went to turn on my TV to try and distract myself from this, I found all of the cables in back missing. The police don't believe me. FML
Today, I saw my car being broken into on the street below my apartment. Too scared to stop them myself, I called the police. Before I could even tell them what was going on, they put me on hold. It was a good 5 minutes before I realized they'd hung up on me. FML
Today, I was robbed while recovering from a robbery. FML
Today, I accidentally set off an alarm at the school I work for. No one was there, I didn't have the code or password the company needed, my boss wouldn't answer his phone, three policemen interrogated me and asked for ID, but realized I left home without my wallet. There was nothing I could do. I cried. FML
Today, it was my first big time art show. To celebrate I went out to lunch with some people whose work was also there. When we got back, police were everywhere. Someone had broken in and stolen all of the art. All except mine. Even burglars don't want my art. FML
Today, my house was robbed while I was at work. The robber left a note telling me my stuff was crappy and that they found my safe under the bed. FML
Today, my apartment was broken into. The thief stole my TV, $350, and my Christmas tree. There is still a trail of broken ornaments from my living room to the door. FML
Today, after having my car been broken into the day before because I didn't lock it, I made sure I locked my doors. When I got off shift and entered the parking lot, I noticed a brick had been thrown through my windshield and a note that said, "Nice Try". FML

As a security officer, we don't get scared, we just think min wage isn't worth getting killed over. We are their to deter, if it happens we hide and call cops.

You don't get scared huh? If you hide and call the cops because you don't want to get killed, then yes..you are scared.

maybe you should find a job that pays more, then you can take pride in your job.

What good is a security officer that calls the police when you could have an alarm system that does the same thing?
shesaywha 19
Not to mention that the FML explicity states that they DIDN'T call the cops.

security gets paid above min wage since it's trained labor. there are security thatwill be fired immediately for that. it doesn't matter what you're paid you do your damn job or someone else should.

Definitely not minimal wage unless you're with a bad company. Mines pretty bad but still get like $13 an hour and its 70% data entry. The other 30% is watching netflix.

... Guys, I'm pretty sure #2 was just making a joke. Albeit a bit poorly executed, a joke nonetheless.

Your a disgrace. Don't be a security officer if your not going to protect anything. You practically sit around 24/7 because nothing ever happens. So when it does you better make yourself worth what you have been paid previous to the incident.

You look like a teenage girl. I call bullshit.

A lot of you are truly uneducated on a security guards job. I am also a guard and the primary job is to deter, help and assist. Guards are not crime fighters that's what the police are for. In this instance yes the guard messed up by not calling the police but it's not his/her duty to stop the intruder and possibly get seriously hurt or killed. Guards are taught in school to watch take descriptions and call the police/emergency services.

That is so untrue, most security jobs are minimum wage but shouldn't be. - in Canada anyways

lol my company dont allow us to get involved were told to call cops if anything suspicious happens so i agree with that logic #2 however mine solely cause were told to and could get fired if we jump in middle of it. i hope op fires these idiots for not even doing their basic job.

Did they at least call the cops? Sorry OP): Hopefully you have some form of insurance...
Shrike 24
The OP clearly said they didn't call the police...
ukeandfoodislife 19
I meant did anyone call the cops, oops!
teentee401 37
Anyone like...who? No one else was there.
teentee401 37
Well, OP didn't mention anyone else. And I'm assuming the burglary took place at night when the business was closed so who else would be there besides for the security guards?

That's a terrible quality in a security guard...
tigerisabelle 31
Honestly it sounds like they were in league with the thieves. Highly unlikely they would not call the police. That or they were not at the store at all and didn't want you to know.

With that cover story, you have to wonder if they were smart enough to ask for a decent cut...but it was probably the equivalent of dogs that get thrown a steak while the thieves walk off with hundreds of thousands in jewelery.
