Today, someone stole my laptop from my car. However, they were nice enough to relock the doors after they smashed in the window. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, someone broke into my car by smashing the driver's side window. I'd be less irritated if they had just used the door handle; the lock has been broken for years. FML
Today, my car was broken into. They broke the passenger side window and took my radio system. But they didn't take the remote for it. FML
Today, I parked my car to go inside to grab my wallet than I'd forgotten. In the short time it took me to do that, someone broke two of my car's windows. 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
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, I replaced my car's windscreen wipers, after someone stole the last pair. After I finished, I went indoors for a drink. When I returned, the new ones had been stolen too. FML
Today, I wanted to go shopping in my new car that I bought just a month ago. When I stepped outside, I saw someone had smashed the driver side's window. They didn't even steal anything. FML
Today, I came out to find my truck window broken. They broke into my truck to yank out the stereo. It was unlocked the whole time. FML
Today, I woke up to the sound of my car being stolen. FML
Today, I went out to start my car to go to work. When it wouldn't start, I popped the hood to see what was wrong. Some kind individual took advantage of the fact that my window doesn't roll up, and stole my battery. FML

"a car alarm! I'd better go see if someone's car is being robbed" said no one ever.

How do we know he even opened the door? Could've just reached in the broken window. Sorry though

Moderators, would you be so kind as to fix that "the" to a "to"?

So just pay it forward. Go slash someone's tires and leave them a business card for a tire place under the windshield wiper.

I guess you kinda deserved it for leaving your laptop in plain sight.

It's possible the thief got lucky but I doubt this is the case. Most thieves will just walk past and glance in. If they don't see something worth taking they'll move on to the next car. The most likely realities are they either saw OP stash it in her car, or at least some part of it was visible to an outside observer. And remember, just because you throw a sweater over something doesn't mean it's not still obviously what it is.

If it was visible even though it's unfortunate you deserved it OP. I try to never leave anything valuable inside my car & if I have to I make sure it's out of hidden out of sight.

Is it possible they didn't unlock the doors? It's pretty simple to deactivate the alarm... (On the plus side I now have a new laptop)

you deserved it.. should have covered it or put it under your seat... thats what I do. if needs be

Yes, it would have been a good idea to put it under the seat, but that doesn't mean OP deserved to be robbed. No one deserves to be the victim of a crime, there are just certain things that can reduce your likelihood of becoming one. Not doing them doesn't mean you automatically deserve to have something bad happen to you, though.

Looks like they just reached in and grabbed it. Especially if you have a small car. That's what I would've done. Just saying.
