Today, I came home to find that my house had been broken into. After assessing the loss, I saw a taunting note on the fridge saying, "Locks work best when the door's SHUT." My housekeeper had apparently left the door wide open. FML

Today, after having my car been broken into the day before because I didn't lock it, I made sure I locked my doors. When I got off shift and entered the parking lot, I noticed a brick had been thrown through my windshield and a note that said, "Nice Try". FML

Today, I left a note on the kitchen table saying to leave the door unlocked because I lost my key. I come home to find our house ransacked and robbed. Minutes later, I found my key. In my pocket. FML

Today, I came home to find my home had been broken into. Nothing was taken, but all the drains were plugged and the water left blasting on high, with a note that said “enjoy the mess”. FML

Today, my house got broken into. They just made a mess. I saw a note on the kitchen table that read "There's nothing good here. You have shitty stuff." FML

Today, I was locked out of my house. After hours of trying to break the door, I found out I accidentally left a window open. The door, however, still needs to be replaced. FML

Today, I came home from work and found my house egged, and bricks thrown through my windows. I called the police, and submitted a report. Later that night, I heard the doorbell ring. Nobody was at the house, but there was a note saying "Sorry, wrong house". FML

Today, I snuck out of the house for a night on the town. When I got back, I found all the doors and windows bolted shut. My sister's laughing face at my bedroom window suggests I'll be spending the rest of the night outside. FML

It got a bit out of hand

By mark - 06/06/2010 23:48 - United States

Today, I went downstairs after a family argument. The front door was kicked in, the sink faucet was snapped off, and there were broken plates all over the kitchen floor. I later found out that the argument was over who left the refrigerator door open. FML

Today, my house was robbed while I was at work. The robber left a note telling me my stuff was crappy and that they found my safe under the bed. FML

Maybe your housekeeper thought it was open house.

Your house wasn't really 'broken into', but rather 'walked into'. The thief shouldn't be charged with 'breaking and entering' -- just entering. Probably one of the easiest robberies I have known of in a long time.

The worst part is, even if OP has insurance, it probably won't cover the losses because there's no sign of forced entry :/

You need evidence of a forced entry to prove you were broken into and robbed. Your home owners insurance may not take your claim. You may need to go to small claims court to collect damages from the house sitter.

If it was the Mexican housekeeper from Family Guy, she'd say "No...I no leave the door unlock.."

You can afford a house keeper? I do not feel sorry for you at all. Stop being lazy and do the work yourself

So suddenly because they have a housekeeper you think it's ok to be a judgemental shit to OP? Without knowing any of the circumstances or how wealthy or even what losses occurred. A lot of middle class people nowadays have them, its not a thing for the 1% percent anymore so get your head out your ass.

so just because they make more money than you they deserve their stuff stolen?

What if the OP cannot physically clean the house due to health issues or disability? What if they aren't lazy, but are working long hours so don't have the time to clean their house? Heck, the OP could even BE a housekeeper, as some housekeepers have housekeepers for their houses because the last thing they want to do after cleaning others' houses all day is clean their own. The OP could also just be a parent who would rather spend time with their children than be stuck cleaning the house for hours a week. It doesn't necessarily mean that the OP has more money than you, but even if they do, that doesn't matter at all.
