Today, I let my roommate borrow my car to go to the store. Later, I saw a picture on Facebook of my roommate and his buddies with my car saying, "Gone for the weekend!" I work at 8am tomorrow and he won't answer my calls. 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, my brother "borrowed" my car and keys without asking me. He came back 4 hours later, alone and pale faced. It took half an hour of questions, interrogation, and finally threats before he admitted that my car is sitting in a ditch a few miles away, probably totaled. FML

Today, as usual, I work nights and sleep during the day. I found out that my brother uses my car and never puts gas in it when he called me for the first time to actually ask me if he could borrow my car, and also to lend him $20 to put gas in it. FML

Today, my roommate asked me to lock the door as we left our place. I told her to use my keys, because my hands were full. Afterwards, she and her boyfriend set off out of town for the next couple of days. She forgot to give me back my keys. 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 covered for my friend at work because he said he was having car troubles and was going to be late. Two hours into the shift, I got a call from my roommate asking why my girlfriend had moved out. Turns out, I'd covered my friend's shift so he could help my girlfriend move out behind my back. FML

Today, my dad agreed to let me borrow the car to go rock climbing with my friends. He'd just filled it up with gas, which is how I realized halfway back home that one of my "friends" had siphoned well over half the gas straight out of the tank. FML

Today, my mom let my younger brother borrow my car. He managed to crash it through the garage door. While I was in another country. Somehow, I manage to get berated by my mom because I'm not doing enough to make my brother feel better about him having an accident involving my car and my house. FML

I hope this turned out to be a practical joke and the room mate was back before the morning?

Call the police and report the car stolen -- you gave him permission to go to the store, not to take it out of town for the weekend.

I don't know if anyone's already said this (probably not), but you should report it stolen and get a new roommate. I can't believe no one else has thought of this!

That's not a friend, it's a roommate.

Never, ever loan your car to someone unless it’s a spouse. Your current problems will get much much worse if room mate wrecks your car or injure someone or damages someone else’s property! Learn from this.

did he have insurance for your car? Was he legally allowed to drive it? Because if not YDI

You gave him the keys so the police will laugh at the situation. i would download uber, check the bus or walk. Good luck

Not necessarily. The roommate could have taken the keys without permission. Either way, OP loaned it to his roomie to go to the store, not to go out of town for a weekend. I agree with the others Report it stolen.

Just cause he let him borrow it doesnt mean he can take it. THATS THEFT! If i as a kid had let a friend borrow a bike or skateboard and they took off on it, guess what that is? THEFT!

I guess i should clarify my comment, since you obviously may get confused. just Cause he let him borrow it to go to the store does NOT mean he can then take it and keep going. same as a kid letting a friend borrow a bike or skateboard for a little while, when you're done riding it doesn't mean they can now takeoff on it and keep it, it must be returned. Neighbor let you borrow the weed whacker? You cant keep it all summer, finish the job you aaked to borrow it for, then return it or that's theft. Plus its 10x easier to say hey, they took my keys, he has to prove he was given permission to take the car to a whole new state.
