I loaded up the game and all characters were deleted and replaced by his level one character with 5 mins played. I wanted to kick his ass so bad...

I would have thrown him out of the window.

I never truly forgave him for it.  I had a bunch of bad ass hand me down weapons from my online days on all the characters and I was around 120+ lvl on my character.  I tried playing the game with friends again and we got to about 20-30 hours in before just giving up. 

Sucks when save files get corrupted or deleted.  I feel your pain.  Yes, autosaving can be dangerous with freak power outages or something else (like an iguana hitting the off switch on power strip).
