My sad sad story
In 2004, when I was in high school, I managed to win a copy of Breaking Benjamin's self titled EP from before they were signed on ebay. Only paid around 50 bucks. Still sealed. Excellent condition. I kept it safe in a box.
My parents were well aware of the CD and my love for them. But unfortunately, the CD has since been lost. After a decade of keeping it safe and protected, my copy has vanished. I have no clue where it went. Either my parents stole it, which I find very unlikely, because even though they knew its value to me, they wouldn't know how to sell the CD online if their lives depended on it. Plus they wouldn't need the money anyway. When I moved out, I may have taken it with me, but I am not positive. I have moved cities and across the country several times. So its possible it was lost in the moves. But I dont believe I would be that careless. Especially since I have so many other rare CD's and vinyl in my collection. Maybe it was stolen, but I would have no idea by who.
I will never know what happened to it. And a few times a year I am reminded of the prized CD I once had in my collection that seemingly just vanished. Very sad story. Probably the saddest story anyone has ever told....
