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, 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 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 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 finished my shopping at Costco, and realized I had 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

Today, I came outside to leave for work. To my shock and horror my car was gone. My asshole neighbor, who has parked in my spot multiple times decided to let her noisy guests park in my parking spot, so I parked in hers. She had my car towed. FML

Today, I found a parking spot in front of my work. I parked and another car pulled into the spot just in front of me. The next thing I know, the car in front backs up and slams into my car. Turns out she didn't notice the fire hydrant next to her spot and screamed at me cause I, "stole her spot." FML

Today, I was waiting after work in a parking lot for my ride and was dancing a little to keep warm. Next thing I know the cops pull up to me and said that someone called in to report someone dancing in an empty parking lot. 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 decided I'd take a nap in my car because I got to work very early. As I was waking up from my nap, I saw a cop looking right at me. Turns out, a lady who'd parked her car right next to mine after I was asleep had called the cops on me because she thought I was dead. FML

Today, I was looking for a parking spot and finally found one. Trying to figure out if the spot was legal, I asked a cop that had pulled up. He said it was fine. I came back 3 hours later to a parking ticket. FML

This sounds like a situation where the lady looks one row over and says "There's my car!" But honestly that's stupid. How could you ve involved when you were already driving a car?

If it's a big parking lot, she probably got the space wrong. Her car is still probably 2 lanes away!

Sounds like her car may have been repossessed, might have been in someone else's name or borrowed, regardless, she should not have thought you had anything to do with it. Since when do thieves return to the scene of their crimes, let alone park in the spot they stole a car from. hahaha.......

FYL indeed for living in a country with such stupid police officers. I mean... "Oh, I stole this car so I could park my own car in the spot! Mwuhahha!" Or otherwise, I dont see how you could be involved. It doesn't make sense at all! Hope you didn't get dragged to the station or something like that.

If she had her own car why would she need to steal one? And then park in the space provided? Idiots.

How the HELL can they possibly connect the fact that you parked in an empty space in à parking lot with the fact that a car was stolen at that place.. Do they seriously think that someone would be stupid enough to A) steal a car just to get a spot and B) park his own car there afterwards?? Were the cops and the lady à bit mentally challenged by any chance??
