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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That sound Logic to you?? • Why would they smash your windows if your doors were open • There are no cars today that allow you to manually re-lock your car from the inside when once you open the door it unlocks automatically • How did they get the car keys if they used the remote to lock it back up? • If they did have the keys, **** it, steal the car too! So in case it happened, you deserved it - even if I think re-locking the car was bullshit!

On the relock, if the window was smashed all you would have to do is reach back in and push the lock button, or just push down the lock. Same thing goes for having the keys. If it was unlocked, smash the window for kicks? And as for the new car theory, there are still a lot of "older" cars out there. Based on the info we were provided I see no logical fallacies.

Maybe they went in through the window instead of opening the doors

if they smashed the window, they never unlocked them to begin with.

Sorry to say it but this is kinda your fault. Next time don't leave a thing in the car where it can be seen. I mean hide everything in the trunk, because the thief might find something interesting and that thing is worth 5$ and the smashed window 100$.

@76, side windows of cars are tempered so that they aren't sharp after breaking, it's a mandatory safety feature on all modern cars.

I feel your pain OP. This happened to me in college. But never leave stuff like that in your car especially where someone can see it. I did that so I totally deserved it, and unfortunately, so do you. :-(

it was probably a habit with him/her locking the door but valuables shouldn't be placed in a vehicle.

Call the police and see if they can recover DNA from the car locks.
