I recent thread of NeoGAF got me intrested in discussing it here as well (I stole a thread idea, OH THE IRONY).

This extends to consoles/handhelds as well as controllers.

For me, I moved a decent distance away from my Parents in 2011 (I stopped living at my parents house in 2009 but was like 10 minutes away, now I'm almost 2 hours North of them).  Anyhow I left my all my GC stuff at my parents upstairs (our upstairs was an addition to the house and was only 2 rooms, mainly used for storage, so I thought they were relatively safe) after transfering apartments upstairs . 

About 2 years later I start to get the itch to play RE4, WW, and MP1 & 2 again.  So during some weekend I come home and look through my stuff only to find all four of my controllers gone (2 of them wavebirds).  When I confront my youngest brother what happened he said he hadn't a clue.  My Mom is actively upstairs and knows to consult me on anything she finds gaming related on wither it should be there or not.   MY Dad never goes up there cause its a mess.  So it really could have only been him, especially since he later said he did remember taking the controllers and bringing them to friends house occasionally.  Sad thing is the chances of him having sold them or bringing them to a friends house but forgetting them there was equally as possible......But I decided at the time this wasn't worth getting mad over with him (he's bipolar and him being mad/punished just means misery for my parents who are quite close to kicked him out of the house by today).

With the recent annoucement of GC adapters for the Wii U kinda has me kicking myself in the balls.....

So what have been your shitty situations about stolen gaming goods?

I'm quite tall and my gaming shelf is quite high. I've never invited anyone taller than me into my home so they've been save so far.

Yeaa, back in my n64 days, I had Ocerina of Time and Majora's Mask and some cunt stole Majora's Mask and I was soo pissed

Did you punt her?

It was a guy and I broke his n64 by tripping and spilling water all over it

So you punted him quite splendidly.

Yeaa, the most I got was a talk on how to becareful with water while he was crying on his dead n64! It was many months before he could play on a new n64 ever again and I enjoyed every bit of it! I hate when people steal other people's stuff, specially when it comes to Zelda

Yeah a few off the top of my head

My cousin stole my Wii and sold it for drugs

Another cousin stole a bunch of my PS1 and PS2 games (and a ps2 controller) and sold them

My entire Pokemon collection was pretty much stolen and "thrown away" , this was done by a "friend".

My DBZ game for GBC was stolen by my friend and it was obvious. I even asked him about it multiple times and got different stories.

A sealed copy of Crisis Core got stolen from what I assume by one of my cousins.

My FFVII memory card for PS2 got stolen... probably the worst of all these things since it had all of my JRPG saves on it... This was done by a "friend"

Also this kid stole my FFX disc...

There was a lot of non-Video game related stuff that gotten stolen also.

So how tall are you?

Tall enough to reach the shelf of course. How would I be able to play if not? Weird question :P
