My whole stack of rares at one point.
:mad:

I don't believe I've ever had anything of value stolen. A friend of mine had an Unlimited Mox Sapphire stolen from him though.

I once stole a DSC.
By accident, actually.
He tinker'd it out, I swords'd it, he dropped it, and forgot to shuffle it back into his library after I won.
Of course, I gave it back, since I'm a nice guy :cool:

Back when Onslaught was t2 I had 3x Exalted Angels and 4x Wrath of Gods jacked from me.
It`s ok though, my older brother fucked the kid up for me. Never got the cards back but seeing that kid and his black eye at FNM was good enough for me.
(My brother doesn`t play so the kid didn`t know we were related...AHHH, good times, good times!!)

At the end of the previous school year, some freshman (no, I don't no who) stole my entire fucking budget storm combo deck. Mind you, it was budget as hell, but it still my had Brainstorms, Consult, Mystical, Necro, Bargain, Will, Helm of Awakenings, 4 of my Drits, my Cabal Rits, my Spoils, Tendrils, Meditates, Mind's Desire, 2x CoB's, 4x Gemstone Mines a Delta, and some other stuff I can't remember. I LOVED that deck.
Fucking freshmen.

Well, I remember walking in the hall at school and finding a pile of around 10 random red cards on the floor.
Like 3 slith firewalkers, a couple hammers, and then some shitty burn. (Sizzle, etc)...
I picked it up since there was literally nobody around and nothing wrong with the cards.
*shrug*

I have had two Sundering Titians and two howling mines stolen from me. I was going to trade the titians but still I wanted them and someone ran off with them. Plus the guy that I think took them was a stupid idiot that already had a kid before he was out of highscool and was trying to make enougher with enouther young lady. Plus the fact that he was not invited to the party persay (band party for my bros 16th birthday) and such just made me feel worse.

I think the question is "Why do I hang out with Fraush?"
Granted, a large majority of the kids I play magic with are of that age, but um...
Yea I'm not sure were I'm going with this.
Dza76Wutang - August 28, 2005 05:24 AM (GMT)
Nobody steals from me! mwahahahaha....
I am a shark when it comes to my stuff, and I don't trade at tournies I play in, call me crazy, but I don't trust anybody and magic is expensive.

I don't hang out with freshman, but everyday last year, I saw people playing in the mornings and during lunch. I never really cared until the grop "leader" (the guy in every group that the other members consider an authority on everything magical) was talking smack, telling me that I knew nothing about competitive decks in any format whatsoever.
Lo and behold, an order I had placed came in the mail when I got home that day--it completed my budget combo deck(well, made it able to function). So the next day, I bring it to school, get in a 4-person multiplayer, tendrils 1 person out on the third turn, bargain for the rest of my deck and tendrils the last 2 on the next.
During lunch, I play a guy and combo out on the second turn. We play again and I get a turn 1 colossus. It was a good fucking day.
The next day, I play them again to the same result. After school, I was playing with them in the atrium while I waited for my brother to get done with soccer practice, as he was my ride home. One of my speech coaches comes up to me, telling me I have to get him to publication number for the piece I'm competing with at regionals. Apparently, I had to get it to him before the day was up so he could e-mail it to the higher-ups or I couldn't compete.
I picked up my cards, threw 'em in my backpack. Told them I'd be back in a sec, ran to the library, searched for the piece and author, and returned to find that they all had left. My backpack looked tampered with, and I looked inside to find nothing awry...but the lack of my deck.
You may ask...why not kick the shit out of ALL of them, to be sure you got the right guy?
1) I didn't know any of their names
2) It was the last day of school
3) I can't remember what they look like now
And that...is my woeful tale of emo angst--please excuse me while I cut myself for attention.

I only ever got ONE card stolen and it was nothing but a shitty Beacon of Destiny.
@ goblinmatt : I WANT YOUR STRIP MINE AND WASTELAND.

Wow, some people are really poor losers hah? If it consoles you any I am sure they are still struggling to try and combo it out.
THe only thing I have ever had stolen from me was a Rancor; I lent it to some guy who was playing Stompy to complete his deck and I forgot to ask for it back and I havn't seen him since.
goblinmatt - August 28, 2005 01:31 PM (GMT)
Wow the only people(few) that play magic in my area go to our local store.I NEVER saw any other kids playing in school that I didint know about.
@lordmayhem- I thought I PMed you.I traded the wasteland :cry: Do you still want za strip?

I once left my deck on a table at a gaming convention, and when I came back to get it, it was gone. It was a u/b/r deck with a badlands, a fork, legends and shivan dragons and mahamoti djinns. Horrible deck from today's point of view, but I was very, very sad about it (this must have been nine years ago when I was about 16).
It turned out well, though. My aunt told her insurance that she threw away my cards, not knowing that they were worth anything. The insurance let me make a decklist and paid me full actual single prices of the cards in money back then.
EnialisLiadon - August 28, 2005 05:21 PM (GMT)
Good freaking deal! Did you write your actual decklist, or did you send for the best version of Keeper at the time?
imopen2 - August 28, 2005 05:41 PM (GMT)
i had my binder stole like a month ago.
i was at my local tourney, trading with someone when the round came up and i forgot to grab my binder and when i came back it was gone.
luckily the JSS was 2 days away so a lot of my GOOD cards were out of my binder for testing, but i still lost 4x tooth and nail some foil promos and a lot of 3-4 doller rares. :(
SnK-Arcbound - August 28, 2005 06:18 PM (GMT)
Stolen? I don't think so. But I did lose an exalted angel. I don't leave any of my shit anywhere. My binder is attached to my arm. Actually it is my hand. I get made fun of alot.

No, I wrote my actual decklist down. You have to understand that I was younger, had no idea of something like the "Keeper" back then, and was really attached to the cards I lost. I have to admit that even today I have a weak spot for u/b/r decks with "good stuff" and legends like Sol'kanar the Swamp King, Nicol Bolas and Lord of Tresserhorn.

No you didn't PM me although I PM'd you.
Wastelands are a higher priority. I am fantasizing about acquiring Strip and Wastes in one envelope. :shifty:
darrellzilla - August 29, 2005 12:28 AM (GMT)
I once borrowed 2 goblin grenades to complete sa deck i just threw together for a group game, th en i forgot allabout it and moved several states away, of cource once i discoveredi still had them it was far to late, never knew the guy i got them from,. :'C
Rugal - August 29, 2005 05:33 AM (GMT)
Mine?
Unlimited Black Lotus. 3 years ago I played in US. I accidentally put my card album on the table while I went to buy drink.
After that, I phoned to police to shut the mall down and report to find the missing boy in the shop since it maybe "him". The hidden camera proven that it's him. I can prove that this thing is valueable to the police then he arrested that boy near the restroom.
The police found my Black lotus in his pant, I got my Lotus back (...). He apologized to me, and he got 2 night in-jail-experience.
He never made it to the shop again. Everyone BANNED him completely from the shop. I don't know what happened to him after that.
lordmayhem - August 29, 2005 06:04 AM (GMT)
@ Rugal : Jesus. You're lucky you got your Lotus back.
goblinmatt - August 29, 2005 03:07 PM (GMT)
Yes VERY lucky
:EDIT: how old was he???
Rugal - August 31, 2005 02:16 AM (GMT)
Around 16 I think.
I started playing with proxy after that. Yes. I should.
tidal kraken - August 31, 2005 02:28 AM (GMT)
Time walk and ancestral recall. I got them both back within ten minutes. Seriously, this only goes to show how fucktarded rednecks are. If you've stolen power, you generally don't stay in the damn shop. Ah well, guess I shouldn't complain
I just can't miss a chance to bash rednecks.
EnialisLiadon - August 31, 2005 03:13 AM (GMT)
Wow...I can understand the allure of stealing someone's power...but COME ON. When I get power I want to know that I fucking EARNED it....
Xman - August 31, 2005 03:15 AM (GMT)
I was playing with some friends at a card shop, and my friends and I both looked one way, talking with a third friend, and a guy picked up my Beta Ruby. I looked back at the board, said where the hell it was, and some kid had picked it up to look at it. I just took it out of his thand, and told him if he wanted to see cards like this, ASK. The owner took him aside, and explained that it was not a good idea to just take cards like from someone who was playing, especially since that card was worth $500 or so at the time.
HööKio - August 31, 2005 08:46 AM (GMT)
I had a 23 year old "Kid" ( or at least he acted like one) steal a full proxy P9 set just a week ago, (He didn't realize it was proxy until after the police showed up).
He shoved the entire page in his pants and tried to stroll out of my shop, I snagged him and pressed charges. Most likely I'll press for around $300 in damages (totally legal in UT to sue for up to 3 times the stolen merchandises value). and a proxy P9 set is not completely worthless, though I may have trouble getting them to believe that it's worth $100.00 since it wasn't for sale, it was just on display.
I considered acting as if the P9 set was real so I could sue for higher damages, But the humility of realizing you got arrested and are being sued for trying to kife some fake cards seemed alot more fun to me.
HarborMastr - September 8, 2005 12:59 PM (GMT)
Wow............
If you are going to take the risk and steal something (I.E. several hundred dollars in cards) MAKE SURE THEY ARE REAL DAMMIT!!!!
@HööKio: I fell off of my chair after the word proxy.
rulerofearth87 - September 15, 2005 11:29 PM (GMT)
I was at the Saviors pre release with my friends and after my last match I accidently left my deck on the table and someone jacked it. But the part that sucks the most is it was all jank but I had these really good black sleeves on it, and that's the only reason I was mad. Oh well I still got seven boosters
swishandamiss - September 18, 2005 02:33 PM (GMT)
My first draft ever at local card shop, i got a foil flooded strand and i didn't know it was good so it wasn't in my deck. After tourney we couldn't find it but i saw someone playing with it earlier.
