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...

Sold by my Dad in the school car-boot sale, 1995- 20 original Star Wars figurines (net value now, at least £100), for the sum total of £4
- Original Beatles White Album LP with gatefold sleeve, mint condition (value now, £150), for £1.50
Needless to say, I'm pissed off about the Star Wars toys, cos they were mine, and they could have helped me out of a spot of financial difficulty on several occasions since. But I guess I should have spoken up at the time, rather than going off to buy a fucking useless marble game for a pound.
But the real kicker was the album, which I didn't appreciate at all for what it was when I was a nine-year-old, but a few years ago, when I flourished into adulthood and music-geekdom, I felt a horrible pang when I rummaged through his record box looking for things I could steal and came up with nothing but Cat Stevens EPs. I wanted that White Album, dammit.
Still, for some reason he still had Parallel Lines by Blondie, which is nice, if not really the same.
