Frustration level 100

Today, I saw my bike locked outside a Starbucks down the street from my house. It was stolen about 10 days ago from my communal laundry room. There was even a cop parked across the street, but I have no proof to show that bike even belonged to me. FML

Today, I rode my bike to the store because I only had a few things to pick up. When I walked back out after five minutes, my bike was stolen. I had gone to the store to buy a new bike lock. FML

Today, I came home from work to find the lock to my bike busted and my bike stolen. The worst part was a nicer bike was sitting right next to it without a lock. FML

Today, I realized that my bike was stolen. It was no big deal, my name and number was on it, but it was a crappy bike anyway. I live 3 miles away, and while I was on my walk home I noticed a bike had been thrown through my principal's window. Who's bike was it? Mine. FML

Today, I decided to bike to work. I normally forget the key to my lock, so I leave it out back and hope that nobody takes it, and nobody does. I finally remembered my lock key so I chained it up. After my 7 hour shift, I walk to the back only to find the lock had been cut, and my bike was gone. FML

Today, I went to retrieve my stolen wallet from a train station. After I collected it, I returned to the place where I'd parked my bike, only to find that my bike had been stolen. FML

Today, someone had put a lock on my bike. While I was trying to saw it off, the police drove by. I was arrested for trying to steal a bike and released four hours later when they figured out that it was actually my bike. FML

Today, I biked to the store to buy a new lock, since biking is my only form of transportation. I left my bike unattended for the last time, only to come back with a new chain, but no bike. FML

Today, my bike got stolen because I left my keys in the lock. On my way home, I saw my bike in front of a store, unlocked. I jumped on it, only to get punched in the face by the guy that had taken it, and got it stolen from me again. FML

Today, my bike was stolen. Partially. Since I always locked it up, some asswipe thought it would be funny to steal the handlebar stem and the seat, leaving the actual handlebar dangling by the brake cables. Since there was no way to steer or sit, I had to carry my bike one mile back to my dorm. FML

Thing is, people who steal bikes usually also try to SELL them immediately. The person who now uses the bike may have purchased it "Used" from the thief. Don't go violent. OP should have reported it stolen to the police so there was a paper trail right away.

Dude clearly knows how to keep his possessions safe, was not cheap enough to buy a nice lock, and hire a policeman to watch it!

so wait for the guy to come out,unlock it, and kick his teeth in. or get some bolt cutters and take it back, or even a $1 lock and put your lock on it aswell so they cant take it. personally this happened to me at wallmart and i beat the living shit out of the guy and ended up decking another guy that got in the way.

Just going to do all this with a cop observing across the street?. You have no proof it’s your bike. At least the guy who stole it has a key to the lock.

Everything of mine that might get stolen has a hidden Easter egg of some sort that a thief would never know about, and that you can't see form the outside. Trivial example: I have a red stapler on my desk at work. If it gets stolen, all I have to do is tell them that if they take the rubber base off, you'll see the words, "Excuse me, I believe you have my stapler."
