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 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, 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, 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, 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, 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 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 newly-purchased bicycle to Lowe's to look at flooring and back splashes for our upcoming remodel. Upon leaving the store, I found out that my bicycle had been stolen by someone who had bought a hacksaw from that store while I was shopping. They left the receipt to mock me. FML

BIKES!

Today, my bike was stolen. These things happen, so I went to work. On my walk to work, a girl pulls up on my bike and says I needed to fix the brakes, someone could kill themselves. She hands the bike to me and runs off. Not even 3 minutes pass before police surrounded me and accused me of stealing my own bike. FML

Today, I went out to where I'd parked my bike only to find that someone had stolen my bike seat. Not the bike, just the seat. I had to ride my bike two miles home in the rain like I was climbing a hill in the Tour de France, while other cyclists moved out of my way in confusion, all while trying to avoid me. FML

If you didn't have a decent lock why did you ride your bike and leave it where it could get stolen?

If you didn't already have a lock for your bike, you shouldn't have taken it to the store. Leaving your bike unlocked outside unattended is just asking for it to be stolen.

Such a shame how people think a person desrves something for someone else being douce and having faith to think that someone wouldn't do this. Unless you out a sign out that says "FREE BIKE" the you don't deserve it.

kind of ironic...but you didn't have a bike lock why would you bring your bike and leave it there...why didn't you just walk?

Fail. When you go out to buy a bike lock, you don't go by bike. Common sense.

TIMMY, SOMEONE STOLE YOUR BIKE? QUICK. WISH FOR A NEW ONE. Don't ask Cosmo.

Not exactly YDI imo, but on the same token it was a foolish move on your part; it would have been far smarter to walk or drive to the store to get the bike lock. I do have sympathy for you, it's happened to me as well, and while it's not your fault for there being dishonest people in the world, you need to take a measure of accountability for your own failure to secure your property against theft.

YDI. If you didn't have a bike lock, you shouldn't have taken your bike out to the store. It sucks that that happened, but seriously, think about these things next time.

@ 29 : I'm not dumb, and I didn't say I thought it was funny. But sadly some people do. I teach to teenagers, and there was situations where some of them were bragging about stealing something to someone, and about how it was hilarious. I'm wasn't generalizing to everyone with a sense of humor, or to all teenagers before someone flames me about it. I was just giving an example. No need to call me dumb about it, that's just childish.
