Today, someone took my flatscreen TV at my garage sale because some kid snuck a "free" label onto it. FML

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, I had a garage sale and sold some books I don't read anymore. A woman came up and yelled at me, saying I'd stolen one of the books from her house. I later found out that it was a distraction so that her boyfriend could steal my TV. FML

Today, I bought myself a brand-new 52" flatscreen. It was only in my house for 2 hours before my toddler had a tantrum, threw a toy right into the screen and wrecked it beyond repair. I paid to have a nice TV for 2 hours. 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 received an email from a shipping company telling me they had dropped off a package of expensive electronics at the front door. Too bad someone stole it before I made it to the door. FML

Today, a "friend" tried to sell me a digital camera that I recognized that was stolen from my home a week earlier, along with a few other things. FML

Today, I spent over $2,000 on a big flatscreen TV. My dad insisted I let him mount it on the wall instead of paying someone to do it. All seemed fine, until the TV came loose and smashed onto the floor. My dad refuses to accept responsibility, and says I should've had a professional install it instead. FML

Today, someone broke into my house. They stole my TV, DVD player and a few DVDs. However they only took about 2 out of 100 DVDs. Apparently that's how bad my taste is in movies. FML

Today, I was babysitting a couple of kids. I'd spent time with them before, so I brought my video game console to play with them. I forgot to take it home with me. They soon sold it to another kid for $10. FML

Today, because money is a little tight, I decided to sell one of my retro video game consoles. The family member that initially gave me it to me saw the ad on Facebook and demanded I give it back to them. FML

Today, I purchased a brand new television. Not long after the professional who hung it on my wall left, it came crashing down on my hardwood floor. I'm now left with a busted TV, a tear in my living room wall, and a severely drained bank account. FML

Wouldn't you have seen the TV being taken?

If you know what kid did it, the parents should pay for it.

Aren't you suppose put the expensive item close to you so you can keep an eye on them?

Couldn't they have stolen it anyway even if it didn't say free since you didn't notice it?

unless someone else saw it and told op after the fact. Like "Wow. I wish I would have seen that you were giving away that flatscreen first" OP: "I'm sorry? Giving... away?*freak out*"

You clearly saw the sticker since you know about it, so I'm gonna vote YDI for leaving it on the TV after you saw it.

someone may have told him about it, from the context of "apparently" I think that's what happened.

Ugh! I hate garage sales! People offering you a quarter for everything. It's insulting. I'd rather burn the item in front of cheap asses than be undersold.

I like going to garage sales. You can find some pretty nice stuff there for super cheap.

YDI sorry OP but never leave a flatscreen TV alone

Exactly! These are my thoughts on this as well.

I'm not sure I understand this.. You saw a kid put a free sticker on it, then you saw someone walk off with it.. Did you not think to say something? Explain some more OP!

Unless I'm reading it wrong, it doesn't say she saw either of those things before the TV was taken. Maybe someone living with whoever took the TV thought it would be best to check with OP after seeing the sticker just to make sure it was legit.

Well that sucks...hope you get some sort of pay for it...

I agree with some of the statements above. If you knew about the sticker, then clearly you saw it or the person who walked off with it. However, if someone else told you about the "free" sticker, then perhaps they can describe the person who took the tv.
