Thrown away: The stuff you loved and lost.Smash Wogan writes, "we all love our Mums, but we all know that Mums can be cunts, throwing out our carefully hoarded crap that we know is going to be worth millions some day."
What priceless junk have you lost because someone just threw it out?
Zero points for "all my porn". Unless it was particularly good porn...

rubbish christmasMy mum once threw away pretty much all my christmas presents, plus my game boy and all my games.
I'd spent christmas at my dads, and I'd brought all my presnts back in a big gift bag (those heavy dity plastic ones with the rope handles), anyway I kept most the reject presents in that bag in the corner of my room for a while as I had nowhere else to put them, but gradually it became a storage place for anything I didn't want on the floor, so games, books, that kind of thing.
The problem was that the bag ended up in the corner of my room behind my bin and being the sort of person who doesn't empty his bin very often, it overflowed.
one day, I came home and the bag was gone, I questioned my mum and she told me that she had noticed my overflowing rubbish bin and thrown it out for me, along with the big bag of my stuff which she had assumed was rubbish as well.
some of the more memorable things I lost:
my gameboy colour (yes it was that long ago)
about 20 to 30 games including pokemon Yellow
a special addition hardback copy of The Hobbit.
seveal model airplane kits that I hadn't got round to making yet
and £30 of HMV vouchers..
the best part was my mums reaction to what she had done. no sympathy, no appoligy or offer to replace my lost christmas... no she told me it was my own fault for being messy..
needless to say I'm a bit of a neat freak nowdays
