There were a good couple of months where all my handheld stuff went missing. I'm talking original Game Boy and all its different incarnations up to around NGPC era, and all the corresponding accessories and games. My parents tossed out the desk it had all been stored in, and the box it was moved to was MIA.
It was eventually found in a storage space, so happy ending, but I swear I almost cried when I found out it was all missing. IT WAS AWFUL =[
