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...

A reversalMy cousin lived with our granny for a few years before getting a place of his own. He lived in the attic and a load of his old junk is still in there. He hasn't touched any of it for years, so I liberated his PlayStation. "But Todd, those are worth about 50p! You can get them in charity shops!" But this one, I noticed, is one of the very early ones that still had an S-video port built in. I doubt it'll ever be worth anything but it's a nice little piece of gaming history, so I snatched it. If he ever wants it back of course I'll give it to him.
If it's still there next time I go back, I'm taking his Commodore 64.
I'm glad to say my parents have never thrown anything of mine out -- it's just not the done thing to throw away things that aren't yours to throw away.

ActuallyIf it is one of the early playstations (model number SCPH-1001) they are much sought after by audiophiles. Apparently they put out more or less reference grade audio.
