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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, I took my new laptop into my house from my car, thinking it would be a too much of a target for kids grabbing it. I came home tonight to find my door kicked in, my laptop gone and my TV ripped from the wall. FML
Today, my house got broken into. My brand new laptop was stolen, along with my flatscreen TV, digital camera, external hard drive and some clothes. Wanting to drown my sorrows in the Ben and Jerry's Phish Food ice cream in the freezer, I opened the door to find that it too had been stolen. FML
Today, my house was broken into. Nothing was stolen, but my laptop had feces smeared all over it. FML
Today, I went out for a 20-minute lunch break. When I returned to the office, I noticed that my personal computer was missing. Someone had walked into the suite on the second floor and stole my computer right off its docking station, while a few of my coworkers were still in the office. FML
Today, while I was taking a break at work, someone stole my iPod from my desk. I work in a police station. 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, 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, someone stole my laptop from my car. However, they were nice enough to relock the doors after they smashed in the window. FML
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

ydi. What kind of moron doesn't backup? #13 just plug the drive into another machine, since it sounds like a mobo issue.

FYL for getting robbed. YDI for not using one of the hundreds of FREE online photo albums.

If you're backing things up on CDS, you're doing it wrong. Get Carbonite or something: http://www.carbonite.com/

Screw carbonite -- use a combination of Picasa (free) for pictures and video and CrashPlan (free for home use) for *EVERYTHING*. Hell, Rush Limbaugh is a pitch man for carbonite -- I would not touch that with a 33 1/2 foot pole.

If you're using Carbonite you're definitely doing it wrong. You pay yearly for a monthly upload limit. Mozy is a lot cheaper and better.

if you have the serial number and warrentys papers you can submit a police report. they will run the numbers against pawn shops and maybe you'll get your laptop back. I got my dslr camera back this way.
