Back in the day, me & my guitar player got our axes stolen out of the back of the van after a freebie gig...looking back, it seems foolish of us to have gone out swimming at the Cliffs on Priest Lake without unloading our gear first, but we were young & stoopid...my loss actually turned to good fortune, as I lost a Jazz Bass that I really had trouble playing due to the narrow neck, insurance paid our claim, & I found my '64 Precision in the back room at the music store (in need of refinishing due to sun damage, but with a lot music left in it), still playing it to this day...my gp wasn't so lucky, he lost an irreplacable Les Paul Jr. from the 50's, & he never got a cent from his insurance co...
More recently I discovered 3 unauthorized charges on my credit card (totaling about $350), requiring me to close out the cards & wait a week for the bank to send new ones...along with a big wad of forms to fill out & sign, testifying that I didn't make the charges & that I will press charges against whoever did (yeah, right, like they'll ever catch the bastards)...
