My game of Kessen was suspiciously borrowed for 5 years, I suspect I'll never see it again.

I had my PS2 and games stolen, detailed every game to the police that came around, nothing was ever found. Locks are substantially more sturdy in the house now and my PS3 is in my room, not the living room.

I'v ehad Pokemon yellow and blue stolen. I have no idea why that kid hated me having pokemon stuff so much because he took my cards too. I eventually just got tired of telling hte teacher over and over again and let him go after a while. I still want to break his face in.

Actually yes. My car was stolen and had a cd case of games in it at the time. I lost a fair amount of tough to find games. The real tragedy was when I got the car back my DRIVE BY ON SOME OF MY NIGGAS water gun was stolen. It was badass! Had a top, firehose style trigger so I could drive and brace it on my window. Very convenient for dominating friends on the side of the road.

Yes, actually.

My parents house was broken into about a year and a half ago, while I was down visiting. They knocked over the television, broke some valuable glass decorations and stole my laptop. They also stole my PSP and the CASE for my Nintendo DS. Not the DS itself, which was upstairs in my bedroom, but the carry case. Said carry-case had a little mesh pocket on the inside to be used to keep the cartridges for other games. I had about four or five cartridges in there when it was taken.

Thankfully, they left the game boxes behind so I knew exactly what was missing. The insurance company easily covered the cost - they didn't provide new copies of the game but vouchers that equated to roughly the same value as the lost games. Which was pretty cool, since most of the games they stole were actually pretty eh. The insurance company replaced the PSP with a better one.

It was irksome, no doubt, but a valuable lesson in home security that we've taken to heart. Plus I got to watch a CSI in action dusting for prints in our living room; even if he didn't actually find any, it was interesting to watch.

My "friend" "lost" my GameBOY when he wanted to "borrow" Pokemon Blue. The next week, my "friend" shows me his "new" GameBOY (by then Gameboy COLOR was in production) and his "new" copy of Pokemon Blue.

I told him that he owed me a gameboy and a copy of Pokemon Blue for the ones he "lost" and to give me his new ones, or at least give me the money to buy a new game. He said they were a "gift." I decided to let bygones be bygones and let it slide, for about a week. Eventually I had told him that my dad had carved our last name into the battery cover of pretty much everything he buys so that way we know which things are ours if people come over with some of their own stuff. I asked to see the battery cover on his gameboy, and after that day he haven't talked to me since.

1999: The year I graduated Elementary School, lost a perfectly good gameboy, pokemon blue and one of my best friends because they wanted to become a thief.

I let my sister take my copy of Sims 2 : Bon Voyage around to her friends.

The idea was that she would install it, they'd play it, and uninstall it before she went home after the sleepover

Next day, it turns out my sister brought home an empty case. She left the CD in her friend's computer. No biggie, we'll call her up and ask for it

Nope, turns out my sister's friend has "always owned that game, but she was missing the case"

Huh, funny, cus I've got my case without MY CD

She isn't really a friend of my sister's anymore, and her family refuse to believe their little princess is a scumbag theiving piece of dirt, so there's nothing we can do

Nothing we can do, that is, until I find her at school one day. I've yet to find her (younger years have different lunch hours) but when I do, I will scare her witless and make her cry

I will Make. Her. Cry.

Theiving little shit

goddamnit that reminds me, one of my friends has my copy of PoP Warrior Within.

Damnit, another friend has my copy of FF advent Children!

Never been robbed per say, but I have had things stolen from me. WOW account got hacked a few weeks ago, day before my subscription ran out. Various other goods as well. Not a good feeling.

 

[Marter]

No, I haven't had any games stolen, and I've only ever lent out one game, and even then it was to a friend that lived just down the road. I would've gotten him had he tried to pull anything funny.

I also keep all my games in an awesome database, so I know where they are, their condition, etc.

 

[Premonition]

"Hey, can I borrow GTA Vice City."
"Sure, why not."

Me now: "Vice City, where have you gone!"

 

[trueluigi7]

My Destroy All Humans was stolen by my cousin...Thankfully I got the game as a gift but still I wish I still had it. Not that bad though only one game.

A few years ago, one day I noticed that my copy of Sonic CD for Windows had been taken from the house. It was right after a friend of mine had come over and I left him alone playing the game for a few minutes while I got something to eat. He left and I, again, noticed my copy of Sonic CD for Windows had been taken. The next day at school, I asked him to give me my copy back. He denied that he had even played it yesterday. I knew I wouldn't win this within a couple of days after it was taken, so I just let it slide for a while, so I could catch him off guard.

Eventually, a year after it, I phoned up his parents and I was able to verify it by showing them that I had no copies of it, but I had a CD case, and I made them realise that one day that the "friend" had come home with a game they hadn't seen before. I never spoke to that thief again.

Lol, "burgled".

When I went to a midnight release for Gears of War I got my copy stolen in the parking lot.

In sixth grade, my game boy advance was stolen right from under my nose. Literally, I was playing it, looked up (somehow I let go at the same time), I looked down and it was gone. A week later, some random chavet was playing with one that was mine. I know, I marked the left bumper's underside with sharpie and demanded it back. I got detention for a week for threatening a fellow student.

I still want to punch his face in. Too bad he moved to California.

 

[T-Blade]

Nope, but I have borrowed a game from a friend I knew in primary, I think it was Pokémon trading card game. I liked it and I asked if I could play it and give it back the next day, That never happened because I had misplaced it somewhere. The next day, I tried explaining and he wasn't having any of it, I understood.
It wasn't until 3 years later that I had put it into a box when I was cleaning my room out, I gave the game back and saying "Well, er Yeah."

One time at camp, I had my Pokemon Gold and was playing it on my brother's blue-and-yellow Pokemon Gameboy. I put it in my bag, was gone for like a minute, came back, and it was gone. I was seriously pissed, because my last save was literally in front of Red (the very last battle in the game).

 

[v3n0mat3]

I got my PS3, PS2, PSP, aaaaand my Genesis stolen. With a bunch of games taken with it.
