Ever had games/console/ electronics stolen ?

[Croooow!]

i had a dumbass try to rob my house he let my horses out and my sister inlaw went out to catch them while she was outside this guy started putting my game systems and dvd player in a duffel back he went out the back door as she came inside he ran outside as i was pulling in she yelled we were just robbed so i grabbed my 12 gauge and chased him through the pasture to the river he made it in the water so i gave him a warning shot and told him he better get outta the water when the cops got there this dick tried to deny he was the robber he tried to say he was going for a walk and i tried to kill him i lived in the middle of 3 private farms totaling 300 acres
and the cop knew me turns out this guy had been stealing peoples stuff on my road for a few months

That post made me nostalgic for small town Nebraska

Holy shit have I ever!! I have my so called "brother", whom I no longer speak to, to blame for that. It's a sad thing really to have to steal something as pety as video game carts & music cds to support your drug habit but that's part of what makes them sad and pathetic. I honestly can not put a number on it but it was mostly my NES and Genesis carts collection that suffered. The fucked up part is he was the one who bought me my Sega Genesis console! That's how it goes though, attempt to make up for the bad with something good but continue to stab you the back anyways.

I think I actually lent Kung Fu for NES to a friend who lent it to someone else and claimed he couldn't find it! Right. Tell me another one. I believe my friend gave me Pro Wrestling for NES to make up for it. I love both games so it still sucked.

In early 2009 I was in a rut and really needed money, so I decided to sell my Wii and like 8 games over craigslist. Long story short someone in Chicago (few states away from me) contacted me about it via email and we worked some stuff out, then I saw the payment through paypal was "ready" sitting there but they had to completely confirm it or something. Well simply put they never did, even though I had stupidly already shipped everything out. I'm not sure how or what happened and I'm already a little fuzzy about it (and very tired at the moment), but yeah... I'm thinking they had a illegitimate paypal account or something. I took the issue to paypal and discovered they have probably the worst customer service I've ever witnessed and resolved nothing with them. I realized the address I sent it too had no telephone number either.

So yeah, a Wii and a handful of games were stolen. A big lesson learned for sure. To this day I still have the UPS received/info slip and all, maybe I can do something about it sometime but perhaps it's too late...

Luckily I got a full time job like a week or two after this incident at the time, but it was utterly annoying and I haven't bothered with craigslist since, or big payments through paypal like that.

I think the general rule of thumb with craigslist is to never ship anything. Make sure it's all local.

Yup. I kind of avoid the place altogether now though.

My brother stole my Jpn PSP, Wonderswan collection, DS, NeoGeo Pocket and a PSone.

Yup. I kind of avoid the place altogether now though.

I've never bought anything off of there, but I occasionally browse it and often will find people who don't know/care about what they're selling getting rid of nice stuff dirt cheap.

Still wish I would've jumped on that boxed Snowboard Kids 2 I found on there once.

Many years ago, someone in my neighborhood stole my first Sega Genesis along with my Sonic games from our unlocked car. (I had just come back from another relative's, and I left my Genesis in the car to go enjoy a nice day outside.)

I had my iPod touch stolen. Thankfully it was near Christmas so I was able to buy another. Same scumbag stole my friend's iPhone too.

I used to collect DVD box sets. One of my girlfriends started letting the wrong people into my apartment.

I lost my Jackie Brown special edition box set, my Chasing Amy criterion collection (with the bonus comic book), and my Donnie Darko directors cut box set among many other missing DVDs. Luckily, I prefer the original cut of Donnie Darko which only costs about five bucks. I still have no replacement for Jackie Brown or Chasing Amy. My other Quentin Tarantino and Kevin Smith movies feel lonely without their missing siblings.

I've talked to that naive girl about trusting shady people, and she told me that she'd rather get burned than turn into a cynic like me. I eventually had to cut her loose. I heard she wound up crack-whoring.
