Today, my younger sister ran into my room, telling me someone was trying to break in. We were home alone, so she went to hide as I took a crowbar and followed the intruder. Just as I was about to swing, he turned around: it was my dad. I had to explain to my sister that burglars don't have keys. FML

Hi guys, OP here... Didn't really expect this to get published, just a casual 'I could tell this story' thought. Basically I was remembering childhood stories and this is one of them (as so people asked how old my sister was) This was about 10 years ago now, my sister was 7 and I was 11. Recognising it was my dad was never the issue as he was wearing a hoodie! and it wasn't a crowbar, it was basically a pole with a hook on it, we use it to open the hatch for the loft/attic as no one can reach it (me and my dad are 6ft so it's pretty high up' My dads reaction was something along the lines of 'Oh 'ello son, what are you doing with that pole?' - nearly splatting your head, dad, you sneaky dick! and about other burglary and death exclamations my neighbourhood was lovely when I was young, but recently has gone way downhill and has suddenly become the attack, drunk and drug capital street of the town so would be more likely to get ACTUALLY robbed now. I've been bottled twice by the same person at the same event two years running next to my house when there were police there and as the police can't control this gang of about 40 they leave it... anyway! Hope this answered some burning questions and I intend to remember some more stories like this soon!

I'm curious as to how old your younger sister is. It can greatly change how much of an FML this story is

Would've been REAL fun if actually hit him. Could have been a whole lot worse. Sorry OP

How old is your sister? If she's just little, that's understandable. Of course, she could have been pulling your leg to see what would happen. Good thing you were able to stop before someone got seriously hurt.

Actually they do. They are called bump keys and can get in to your average residential lock in a few seconds. Locks are much more for show and giving owners a warm fuzzy feeling than actual protection. Also if someone uses a bump key, there is no sign of forced entry and many insurance companies won't pay. Cheers.

Burglars can have keys if they stole a purse with keys in them. However, "trying to open the door" and "trying to break in" are different actions and should be communicated as such.
