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

Classic case of the Mondays

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

Having been a police officer for a very long time I find this story highly implausible. Being asked a few questions does not mean they think you are involved. I'm relatively certain that this is a miscommunication or you were dealing with a total idiot. Or perhaps a mall security guard.

Section 11(d) of the Canadian charter of rights and freedoms states that the accused is always presumed innocent until proven guilty... I'm hoping the police officer believes that maxim

It pretty much says the same thing in different words in the USA.

There's no such thing as innocent until proven guilty here in the States. It's all a sham. Society still labels you a criminal even if your case gets dismissed for lack of evidence.

48- yes, society does, but not the courts. I've got a lawyer mom, and she always pushes that down my throat. Especially when I'm in trouble and she wants to prove me guilty. ANYWAYS! Casey Anthony was proven innocent. The majority of the country still hates her, but that's unfair. I'm sure lawyers and judges are more educated, and can probably go more in depth. But not all of society is bad.

I hope there's cameras or something that can prove your innocence. The cops should know that if you commit a crime, you wont want to leave something directly connected to you at the crime scene.

Any halfway decent cop will outright assume you would be smart enough to not park your car into the spot a car you had just stolen had been parked. You should be fine. The lady was just hysterical.

Some people need to stop eating stupid for breakfast in the mornings before going to work... It will make their jobs easier. Sounds like being a consumer at a busy shopping mall was just too hard for either of them to imagine. " Only in America" I mean FYL
