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

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 was at Goodwill and I saw my bike, which was stolen from me a couple of weeks ago. It was a gift that my mom gave me for my birthday. The bike was being sold for 65 dollars. I had to buy it. FML

Today, I finally received the bicycle I ordered months ago. It was an expensive custom-made bike which perfectly fit my 6'9" frame. Today, that bike got stolen. FML

Today, I bought a new bike from a sporting goods store. I secured the bike in the back seat and slammed the door shut, but I didn't pay close enough attention to the placement of the handlebars. I had to return the bike to pay for the shattered window. 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 heard an electric saw cutting through something outside my condo. I presumed it was a complex maintenance guy working on something. It was a thief using an angle grinder to cut off my bicycle's U-lock. FML

Today, I discovered a purple BMX bike abandoned in my front yard. I wondered why it was there, until I looked over to discover that my own bike had been stolen. I guess they liked mine better. 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

he's an idiot. The receipts have time stamps. Talk to the staff, identify who bought a hacksaw around that time and done

Did they pay with card? That can be used to find them.

Doing a remodel doesn't mean someone is rich. My parents have done two remodels on our house and we don't have much. The first after a house fire due to a wiring error. The second after pipes burst and flooded our house. They were both covered by insurance because someone screwed up.

Can use the stamp to find him if he used a card, hope you get your bike back OP!

how did you find the receipt? Was it left by your broken bike chain. I'm confused.

Good chance the receipt might of just fell out of the bag or pocket when riding off. Stupid for thief but could be the key to catching him. Good luck op.

Contact the store, or actually probably the police and let them contact the store but still. Lowe's has cameras everywhere, that person will be on camera. And if you have the receipt they left behind they might be able to use any card info on it (if there is any) to find out who it was.

If you kept the receipt, take it to customer service, tell them what happened, and give it to them. Each receipt has a barcode on it that employees can scan. If the thief payed with a card, that barcode will bring up their information. Even if they didn't use a card, the receipt will tell them the time and date the saw was purchased, and at which register, for security footage to pin down the thief.

Everyone is talking about security cameras, which of course is a good idea, but the sad thing is it's more than likely that other customers saw the thief and no one stopped him.

The next FML: Today, I got a new bicycle for the cost of a hacksaw. Unfortunately I left the receipt with my fingerprints and transaction time stamp they could match up with the security camera footage.
