That SUCKS. Sorry.

Do you still have the booklets? Maybe some generous ILMers would be willing to make some copies (since after all, you paid for the license & not the media - right RIAA?)

Anyway - that sucks.

Hunt and slay, sir. You have been given permission.

How many people work in your office? any seedy characters around? lock the doors and don't let anyone out.

I don't know why people steal CD wallets. I mean, the resale value on CDs sans jewel case has gotta be negligible, right? So it's just stealing for kicks, which is shitty to the max.
consolations, dude.

Maybe they stole in hopes of getting a rare Coldplay CD.

cheers.... and shit again...

Maybe they steal them to get some new CDs to listen to.

yeah maybe you should put up a list and see if people can sort you out with copies of the cds you lost?
what country are you in?

― robin (robin), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 17:06 (twenty-three years ago)

probably not one of those countries where stealing can get yr hand cut off...

That completely sucks, man. I'd go on homicidal rampage, myself.

foooooc...

Man, if I had a FIVE-CD wallet stolen from me, I would probably cry. You should start kicking ass and taking names 'round that office o' yrs. You should put up a naaasty wanted poster, where I 'unno, you offer a kick in the balls as reward. Might not get the CDs back, but you still get yr kicks, eh?

this used to be my nightmare

that's why i never use these wallets anymore

― jack, Wednesday, 6 August 2003 01:05 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh man! That really is shitty! I thought my luck was bad from being short-changed by a axidriver for a tenner, but this?! Yeeech!

Wha'd you lose? Seriously, we all might be able to help

― Dan I., Wednesday, 6 August 2003 02:56 (twenty-three years ago)

I understand the pain....it will never leave you

― dwayne dibley (frownland), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 09:28 (twenty-three years ago)

Thanks... the worst thing is I can't remember which CD's I had in which wallets, except (for some reason) the first Rufus Wainwright. I might be able to claim on insurance, at least -- although that's a second-best to finding and killing whomever stole them, natch

If you've had a good look 'round and still can't find it, I suggest you call Security and demand that they perform a full and intimate search of your Managing Director and his office immediately.

Huh. That's the last time I do day-shift work at one of London's most prestigious left-wing newspapers. Thieving trots.

You could say the wallet was a red rag to a bull *ducks*

maybe he'll listen to the 650 schubert lieder on it and be moved to begin an honest life

― poortheatre, Wednesday, 26 September 2007 11:45 (nineteen years ago)
