Hi (Guten Morgen) Konsolentreff,
die Inspiration zu diesem Thema war ein Thread auf Neogaf (Games Stolen From You) und ganz besonders diese Geschichte hier vom Thread-Ersteller:
Ich muss gleich zur Arbeit, mir würden jetzt auch einige Geschichten aus meiner Kindheit einfallen. Schmerzhafte Geschichten die sicher jeder von euch mal zu diesem Thema erlebt hat und bin gespannt welche Geschichten ihr zum Thema auf lager habt. Vielleicht Outet ihr euch ja sogar selbst als böser Gamer Dieb, fals ja. Ich will mein Turtles in Time für den SNES und meine EyeToy Kamera wieder haben (und nen Dutzend GameBoy Spiele)!

My son had this group of little neighborhood dudes he had been inviting in for a few weeks, playing Guitar Hero and stuff. One of them had been eyeing the shelf real hard. We moved and after I set everything back up I discovered three cases with the discs gone, GTA:Vice City, Timesplitters: Future Perfect, and Guitar Hero 3. I have since replaced the first two. GH3... meh...
Colin was a friend of my son's when they were like 7 or 8, and he would come over all the time and play the games. He got really obsessed with Zelda: Oracle of Seasons on Gameboy and sure enough some time later it turned up missing well after we had lost touch with the kid. I recently replaced it.
Dorian was a neighbor across the ward who borrowed my copy of Shadow of Rome because he said his copy would always freeze at one point, and he never could finish it. He took forever with it and I had to ask him repeatedly to get it back. When I did I took a quick look at the disc which looked unscratched and went about my merry way.
Years later, after becoming a lot more cynical about human nature, in fact just a couple of months ago, I went to check that disc out more closely. Sure enough a big scratch in the top printed metallic layer, so that you could see light through it. $12 for a replacement for me, eternal damnation for your ironically religious soul I guess Dorian.
I guess all told I've been lucky so far, knock on wood.
It feels like War of the Worlds on XBLA got taken away because it was delisted one week before I actually went to convert and buy the demo. DRM of the future, "first world robbery," might make the stories above seem even more quaint and retro than they seem to me now, looking at what I typed.
But I bet there's some good stories out there about when your shit got straight-up jacked.
