Thrown away: The stuff you loved and lost.Smash Wogan writes, "we all love our Mums, but we all know that Mums can be cunts, throwing out our carefully hoarded crap that we know is going to be worth millions some day."
What priceless junk have you lost because someone just threw it out?
Zero points for "all my porn". Unless it was particularly good porn...

As a childI distinctly remember that, coming from a house where Dad was the one with the TV remote and whatever he wanted to watch was what we watched, myself and my brother were forced to video tape things at an early age. These tapes of various television shows, films and other similar broadcasts I kept.
However, as much as my father was a television control freak, he also enjoyed his sunday pub trips. And this is the same day the grand prix was on.
Because he didn't want to miss precious laps during his piss up time, he recorded the grand prix.
Always, out of the 60-odd VHS tapes, on my stuff.
One of my earliest childhood memories is running to the video player, pressing play, awaiting in glee for ET to come on, and hearing that familiar "NEEEYYAAAAWWWW", before getting very upset.
To this day, things don't change. :(

Video.My friend Paula had a precious video of herself and friends in the audience of The Tube back in the 80s. It was labelled as DO NOT USE very prominently all over it, yet her mother managed to grab it and tape something over it. When remonstrated with she was supremely unmoved.
Paula's revenge (& solution to make sure it never happened again) was to find one of her Mum's favourite films and tape over it.
Word were exchanged, points made and it never happened again.
