Coincidence

Today, I was moving to my new apartment. I left some furniture outside as I drove to dump the first load at my new place. When I got back, everything was gone. Apparently, today is the day the donation truck was coming around to take everything we don't need. FML

Today, I packed all my clothes in a black garbage bag, so I could easily move them to my new house. When I came back outside to load it into my car, the bag was missing, and all I could see was a garbage truck driving away with the week's trash. FML

Today, my roommate of a year and good friend of several more decided to move out. When I came home from a long work shift, I found all the cupboards emptied out of everything, including all the new stuff I bought to replace what she was going to take with her. FML

Today, I went to Houston to help with hurricane relief and to donate supplies. Later, I realized that I'd accidentally donated a bag that had my brand new truck keys in it. I've been waiting for 5 hours already to find it. FML

Bye bye clothes

Today, I ran out of moving boxes so I used a few garbage bags to pack up my clothes. My new roommate decided to be helpful by putting those green garbage bags in the dumpster. It was garbage day. FML

Bought or stolen

Today, when leaving my apartment, I instantly noticed there was a giant dump truck in our lot, which turned out to be directly behind my car. After making a 20-point escape from my parking space and getting to work late, my roommate texts me, "DUDE guess what I got last night." A giant dump truck. FML

Today, my roommate was packing up her kitchen stuff as she prepared to move out. Apparently that included the majority of things I bought last week to replace all of her stuff she is taking. FML

Today, I came back to my apartment after moving most of my stuff out. Upon returning, I learned that my now ex-roommate drank all of my alcohol and threw away my things, thinking that I had forgotten them. FML

Today, my boyfriend moved out and took all his things with him. He also took some things that didn't belong to him, namely my rent money. My landlord comes tomorrow. FML

Today, my ex-roommate, who decided to move out when my other roommate and I told her we didn't want a giant dresser for her dogs' clothes and stuff in the dining room, took the door knob out of the door to her former bedroom and threw some of my things in the recycling bin. FML

Today, I just got a new assignment for the moving company I work for. Two weeks ago my fiancé dumped me and I moved out of the house. Almost all of the furniture was mine and it took forever. The new moving assignment I have is moving her new boyfriend into my old house. FML

You're moving without help? How could you place your furniture outside, not have a friend watch it and actually expect it to still be there when you return? I think this shoulda been common sense.

Well... At least you donated it to someone who will really need it

While I think it was stupid of you to leave your furniture outside, I don't think they could/should have taken your stuff. Where I live, at least, we have to call ahead of time and let them know in detail what we are leaving out for them to take. I live in California too (like you) so if I were you I would try calling them and see what exactly happened. Might be your fault, but there's a chance they are the ones at fault. Good luck OP.

That sucks OP, but the donation people should of knocked on the door or something and came back later if you were not there, when I have donated stuff that is what the places I have donated to have done to make sure they are taking the right stuff, I would call them up and tell them the situation and ask for the stuff back that you didnt want to donate.

In My neighborhood anything like that placed on the curb is gone in an hour day or night

Yup. My neighborhood too! Sometimes disappears in minutes. If it isn't tied down it's fair game and totally free!

To be honest, you kind of deserve it. Anywhere I've ever lived, if something is on someone's curb/outside a building (and there's no moving van/workers in view), it's an implied, "I don't want this but **** if I'm going to pay for the dump fees, someone please make it go away." Not only that, but if you were moving apartments, how long were you planning on being gone to drop stuff off at the new place? Why not rent a truck and do it all in one go, or at least leave your stuff in the old apartment that you're not moving in that go.

Alright, seriously? You left your shit outside. That is on you. They picked it up because you didn't leave it inside. The only person you can be pissed at is yourself.

Do you have proof that it was the charity? Where I live, if you leave anything on the curb, it's fair game to whoever wants it. I have put stuff out that I didn't think anyone in their right mind would want and it was gone in less than an hour. YDI for leaving stuff out on the curb without having someone watch it. Next time spring $25 for a UHAUL and do it all in one shot.
