Today, I came home to find my entire action figure collection was gone. My parents told me I am too old for toys, so they opened all of the packages and donated them to Goodwill. I had an original Boba Fett, and my entire collection was worth more than twenty thousand dollars. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mother sold my extensive Star Wars collection, and I cried when I found out. I'm 46. FML
Today, I got home from work to find my wife asleep in her easy chair with my two year old son asleep in a pile of torn-up paper. I soon found out it was my 1960s collection of a Superman comic book series that I inherited from my dad. It was worth well over $2,000. FML
Today, I invited a friend over and showed him my collectible action figures. He also collects the ones I do. There was this one particular rare one I own, and he was quite fascinated by it. It mysteriously vanished after he went home. He claims to know nothing about it, and got pissed for accusing him. FML
Today, I came home to find that my mother had sold all my valuable collector coins for cheap at a local shady pawn shop to buy herself a TV. The coins in question were worth enough to start a business. FML
Today, my dad said I need to stop playing with toys and threw my lightsaber out of the window. It was a replica of the Lightsaber used by Mark Hamill, made from the same type handle from a 1970s camera, just like the film prop. It was over 40 years-old and worth thousands. Not anymore, as it's now scratched and in two pieces. FML
Today, I discovered that my parents rooted through our house looking for junk to sell at a garage sale. They sold all of my books from my bookshelf. When I freaked, out my mom said 'well you never read them'. There was about $300 hidden between the pages of those books. They made $60. FML
Today, I went to the store to buy a new lego set, only to find there weren't any left in stock. I started crying before I could make it out of the store. Oh, and I'm eighteen. FML
Today, my dad bought a one hundred dollar collectible light-saber. He plays with it. In the front yard. With sound effects. FML
Today, I got home to find my entire video game collection and all my consoles had been stolen. Two weeks ago I brought them back from my University accommodation, specifically to stop them from being stolen while I was at home for the Christmas holiday. FML
Today, I got home and found my kids playing with my coin collection. My wife told me to stop being grouchy because it’s not like they’re silver and gold. No, but they were all mint condition, some of them very rare, and every scratch the kids just put on them has halved their value or worse. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Pay back is a bitch. Remember this sad event...When you pick out a nursing home for your folks....

Why would they go through all the trouble of opening them if they were going to donate them? Sorry for your loss by the way.

I feel your pain OP my parents threw away my baseball,football, hockey card collection from the early 1900's it was worth millions I had original Mickey Mantle's, Babe Ruth you name it, when I freaked out and told them what it was worth they beat the s*** out of me for not selling them to pay off the house I was only 12 at the time but if I had been older I would've called a lawyer and the police

You deserved it for not even letting your parents know you had it. Insane for a kid to hold on to that amount of value.

Bass......you're kidding right? your belongings in your room are yours. End of story. shut up

Since you’re living at home, perhaps you should have let them know what kind of value you were holding onto there.

Or your belongings are your belongings.......and the parents need to go **** themselves

Mate i would be suing them for stealing. What they did was wrong. I wouldve told them off for it, like my parents wouldn't be very happy after it. At least my parents have an interest in sci fi which is good. I feel really bad mate. Best ve suing and getting your parents to come up woth that 20 grand.

That's grand theft if your calculations are correct. You could have them arrested, or bill them for the money you lost.

Sue your parents for robbery and theft

OMG that's horrible! My parents say I'm too old for toys but they'd never go behind my back and get rid of them (yes, I have quite the collection too). I am so sorry, OP. :'(

This actually made me feel sick. I’m so sorry you had this happen to you.

Why are you still living at home? And you never once told your parents they were collectibles?
