That is terrible. Me and roommate were on the edge of tears.

30 YEARS of collecting. Nearly all destroyed.

We've all done stupid shit, but I've never paid a price close to that, so cut the guy some slack.

You know, some of us are stuck in apartments and would love to have a house, even if it was a fixer upper. :?

People by nature are never satisfied with what they have.

There was this guy on playstationcollecting.com, his entire collection got stolen

Then the moron went to a nearby EB where the owner was friends with the victim, recognized the collection, called the cops, and he got it all back.

While that wasnt that bad since he got it back, I'd still feel complete loss would be the worst.

Though my site that detailed my collection got shut down for a few days for no reason, thats the worst to happen to me
