Ever had games/console/ electronics stolen ?

Post by AznKhmerBoi »

if so what would be your most regretable console or games stolen?

For me its pretty recent i got my DS lite and R4 with 2 gig card stolen.

I was really upset because i love the ds lite and now i dont know if i want to buy a ds lite or just wait for 3ds.

still ill miss my R4 and DS dearly.

Honorable mention : I lend a my gamecube to a friend who turn to drug addict and sold my gamecube with with at least 20 games to support his habit. Yes i was piss and thats last time i trust a former druggy.

Someone jacked my copy of F-ZERO out of my backpack in jr high (brought it to school to let a friend borrow it). That sucked.

In middle school a classmate who I was friendly with begged me to let him borrow my copy of Legend of Zelda, so I naively did without collateral... a week goes by then I ask him to return the game and he tells me "My family's moving tomorrow, you'll never see me again!" and I lost him in the hustle and bustle of the school day. And he was right, I never saw or heard about that little shit again.

Summer before my second year of high school some kid stole my Gameboy right out of my house. I never found out who until a few months later, and then it was on. He told me to piss off, so we got in a fight that turned into an hour long series of takedowns and headlocks before we both gave up out of exhaustion. Never did get my Gameboy back... think it was sold soon after stealing. But at least I went on to being a contributing member of society, last I heard of him was that he had AIDS and was in prison. Karma sure is a bitch.

Wow, that exact thing happened to me with a copy of Mega Man X. Before I knew it, the kid was moving out and the game was packed with all of his stuff. He said he'd send it to me in the mail or something, but I'm confident that neither of us really believed that.

I remember back when, I must have been in 2nd or 3rd grade, my brother and a friend from his class swapped our Eek the Cat for his Judge Dredd (both SNES). That kid moved away with the Eek the Cat cart. Back then, I was pissed off at him because I liked Eek the Cat. I guess it was a pretty shitty game, Judge Dredd must be better. Looking back at it, I think I made out better having Judge Dredd.

I think you did make out better. And at least you had something tangible to show for your missing game other than anger and regret.

I lent my copies of Warbirds, California Games and a couple of other Lynx games to a friend in high school back in 1993. He was expelled the following Monday for drugs and sent home (it was a boarding school)...never heard from him again and tried to reach him over and over again for more than a year.

Still pissed nearly 20 years later.

I had my copy of Max Payne 2 (xbox) stolen from me, but it was a weird situation. I had actually lent the game to one of my friends, in which another guy then stole it from him. I eventually found out who took it, but by then the game was a $2 bargain bin game and I just re-bought it.

College can be blamed for all of mine. Bought gta san andreas, someone came in my dorm room and stole it.. while my roommate watched. He assumed I knew the kid?! Also had a modded xbox, tons of games and controllers. My second roommate let one of his friends borrow it all without asking me. Never saw it again.

I mainly miss fusion frenzy for some reason. "Eaassssyyyy."
