Today, I finished my shopping at Costco, and realized I'd forgotten where I had parked. After scouring the parking lot for 20 minutes, I called the police and filed a report for a stolen vehicle. I then remembered I had bought a new car yesterday and parked it right next to the entrance. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I couldn't find my car in a mall parking lot. After 30 minutes of searching, I reported it stolen to the mall security. It turns out that I'd parked it on the opposite side of the mall. Security escorted me to my car, all while giving me pitiful looks. FML
Today, my car was stolen from my driveway. I reported it to the police, the insurance company, and my neighbors, and begged for help via social media. As I walked to catch a bus, I saw my car parked outside my school. I forgot I left it there last night. FML
Today, I finally found a parking space directly outside my apartment after driving around for 20 minutes. I celebrated, parked, and walked upstairs. Ten minutes later, I realized I'd left my car running with the keys still inside. FML
Today, I took the bus after work. When I got to the remote parking lot, I realized my car had been stolen so I called the police to report it. When they came to take a statement and asked me when was the last time I saw my car was, I replied, “This morning, when I drove it to wo… Oh.” FML
Today, I borrowed a roommate's car to get groceries. I came out to find the car stolen. I called the cops, and the responding officer took the info and drove me home to give the roomie the bad news in person. 15 minutes later, they found the car. I'd parked it on the opposite side of the lot. FML

Today, I found an empty parking space in a crowded parking lot. When I came back later, a lady and a cop were standing by my car. Her car used to be parked there and got stolen. They think I'm involved. FML
Today, my boss reported to the police that a suspicious car has been parked outside the store late at night. I walked outside and my car was gone. He had my car towed. FML
Today, I was leaving my job at a huge mall. I couldn't find my car anywhere, so I panicked and flagged a security officer. I cried while he drove me around for miles in the endless parking lot. Then, suddenly, I remembered. My friend had dropped me off in the morning. FML
Today, I woke up at 7 am to take my last final. When I got to the parking lot, I realized my car was missing. After speaking to the police for 3 hours, I called my girlfriend to let her know what happened. She then told me I had parked on the street the night before. So much for the 8 am final. FML

Strange. When I get a new car, I always park it so far in the back that no one would ever park near it.

there's an ap for that.

App** - abbreviation for "Application" Ap - abbreviation for "Alternative Press" (magazine) or "Advanced Placement" (school). Long story short, learn how to spell. Jesus.

How do you forget you got a new car so easily? If I got a new car I'd be thinking about how awesome it is 24/7 for the next week or two. But that's just me, haha.

You should make a donation to your local police department or their charity of choice to cover the costs of their wasted time .

How do you forget you brought a new car?

Solution: Park the car in your enemy's driveway before the cops notice.

Irrelevant, because OP reported the wrong car anyway.

Wait, you mean no one stole your 1995 Geo Prizm? This is why I usually drive people around the parking lot very slowly when their car gets 'stolen.'

Now is the perfect time to steal his old car. The cops will never believe OP twice.

Humans are creatures of habit. OP is used to looking for the older car. Add to that the frustration of shopping at costco, it's not far fetched to think OP had the new car slip their mind.

My mother reported her car stolen once when she drove my jeep to work. You feel like a douche, but it happens. Good comment.

How do you know OP is rich, or a kid? OP did not necessarily buy a car fresh from the factory, it's just new to him/her.
