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

You do realize that your doors were locked already, that's why they had to break the windows. Sorry just had to point that out

And that is why you don't leave valuables in your car..

Yeah hello OP here. For those of you insinuating that I have the IQ of a house plant, my laptop was in a thick canvas bag and shoved all the way under the passenger seat. Unless they had the spine of Elastigirl, I'm assuming the thief smashed my window, unlocked the door and rifled around my car. All I did was run into the store to get some milk. I was gone less than ten minutes, but I guess that's all it takes.

Unless they had the spine of Elastigirl, I'm assuming the thief smashed the (driver's side) window, unlocked the door and rifled around my car. I was in the store not even ten minutes, but I guess that's all it takes.

hmm well if they broke the window odds are the doors were never unlocked..

54 OP assumes that they relocked the door. Unless OP saw the robbery occur, they had no way of knowing if the thief unlocked the door or not.

At least they were thoughtful?

I thought this too at first but then I realized generally broken windows are really sharp and don't break cleanly. I'm not sure how car windows work exactly when broken or how the thief broke the window, but perhaps it wasn't broken wide enough or safe enough they could just reach in and grab the laptop? I figure they just broke it enough to reach in and unlock the door, opened it, grabbed the laptop, and relocked it upon closing. That's the only logical explanation on how OP would know it was relocked.
