Games Stolen From You

Didnt get stolen but almost did was Quest 64.

Brought a "Friend" who brought his friend and I was showcasing some of my games - his friend took Quest 64 and put it in his pocket.

Thankfully my grandmother was watching over and caught him in the act , bless her soul.

I then kicked them both out since they lost my trust.

That happened like about 15 or so years ago though lol.
 
Megaman 2. Stolen by this ahole kid named Anthony Mulberry. I walked to his house. Walked right into his room ripped it out of his Nes and punched him straight in the mush. I was a hard ass 10 year old lol.
 
Let a coworker borrow Metal Gear Solid and Legend of Dragoon disc 2. They quit a week later and never saw them again.

Let a friend borrow my SNES copy of Ogre Battle. Moved away to college and fell out of contact with them. Never got the game back.

A friend from college still has my SNES and copy of Secret of Mana, but I still talk to her. She just lives 800 miles away.
 
Sony stole my English version of Lego the movie the game.


I initialized my ps4, went to redownload it and now sony have replaced it with the German version making my dlc redundant :/

Robbing bastards.
 
None of my games were stolen from me.

But I let my cousin borrow Final Fantasy VII. He had the game for 5 years. When I "stole" the game back, I notice the first disk has been scratched to hell. It's so scratched, the very first movie sequence skips a lot up to the point where it freezes.
 
I got scammed out of a bunch of GC games on cheapassgamer one time. I wouldn't make the same mistake today, but I was young and naive back then.

Fake edit: Damn. Looking back, it's a pretty good list.
Animal Crossing
Resident Evil 4
Star Fox Adventures
Pikmin
Aggressive Inline
Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles
Metroid Prime
 
Think I've been quite lucky as the only one I can remember was lending out and then never getting back Sudden Strike for the PC around 2000 or 2001.
 
Some snot nosed friend of a sibling took my Pokemon Silver at some point which was full of memories. Luckily I already moved my Mew and most of my favorites to my Crystal version at that point so ha, the punk got nothing good out of it.

I lent an original copy of Final Fantasy Tactics to a kid I knew in middle school despite deep reservations about it, but hey peer pressure. I got it back but not the booklet. I had to settle for buying a green label replacement almost a decade later.

Druggie in the family stole HAWX 2 (I like it but why that of all things? It wasn't even at the top of a pile) and a copy of Red Faction 2 that was borrowed from me a long time ago and sold them. For all I know I have more missing games but I have so many I might never know about until years later if I ever lose any. That thought pissed me off and prompted me to start making lists of my games.

My college dorm got broken into once.

Guy stole a PS2 and some accessories and some games. A Gamecube and some accessories and games.

But the dude left a 360 and everything related to it just sitting there. Never understood that crook.

OK I LOL'd
 
As a kid, one of my friends stole my copy of Half-Life because he wanted to play it while I was still in the process of completing it myself. I obviously knew he was the only one that could have taken it so I called his mother and told her about it because fuck you. I promptly got my copy back.
 
Never in my life let anyone borrow any game from me. I may be an asshole, but you can't know who will be the first one to never return a game.

I did got some Yu-Gi-Oh cards stolen from me back in 3rd grade. I still hope I will find them somewhere in my old stuff :(.
 
Been pretty lucky. The only games that I know of that were stolen from me were Warioland 4 and Castlevania Circle of the Moon. I'm 90% sure my cousin (who was maybe 11 at the time took them). I felt bad accusing him but they went missing after a party only family members were at and I just had a feeling it was him. He never fessed up to it though.

I used to go to go to my brothers little league baseball games and play my gba. one day my stuff was knocked out of my chair while I went to get food, and my Kirby Amazing Mirror was gone and a kid that was watching me play it was gone. I tried looking for him to see if he saw anyone take it by i realize he probably took it.
 
SMT Nocturne. Im pretty sure my brother stole it. I still cant prove it. It was the last copy gamestop had and then didnt have the case. I left it in a blank black case and had it under the desk with the rest of the games. One day i wanted to play and i couldnt find it anywhere. literally searched every dvd case and game case. under every sofa, every room. coincidentally after i lost that game he found an interest in digital devil saga. That was years ago
 
Someone stole my Ocarina of Time copy a few years back. Which is my favorite videogame of all time. I really connected with that game. As I got it when I was really young throughout the years I grew up and my mind developed I would get further into the game until I beat it. Literally grew up with the game.
 
When I was in boot camp, my CIB Majora's Mask vanished from my room back home. When I was in MOS training, another soon to graduate private borrowed my Twin Snakes disks and never returned them.

Luckily, I replaced both on the cheap, but I never got back a box and manual for MM.
 
Does this include games people borrowed and never returned? If so be ready for a list.

-Kingdom Hearts to an old classmate
-Final Fantasy VII friend broke disc 3, so it was unplayable and then told me it was like that when he got it. But i made him pay by "borrowing" Chrono Trigger,Secret of Mana,Terranigma and Lufia II so i came out on top in the end.
-Crystal Chronicles
-Smash Bros Melee no clue where that game went.
-Castlevania circle of the moon GBA
-Age of Mythology
-C&C Generals

So when last gen arrived i never let anyone borrow any of my games anymore.
 
I "lost" my PS2 import Sakura Taisen Atsuchi chishio ni moving to my new apartment some years ago. The moving company denied any involvment.

Still have the limited edition box and the bonus DVD :(
 
Space Quest VI for PC. I lent it to a friend, turdbag lent it to someone else. Who knows where that game is at right now.
 
i think when i was at second grade , i lent my copy of chip and dale 2 to my friend at school
he never return it to me
i begged him to return it to me, i also offered him another game, just to return my game to me
but he never listened
 
I've been on both sides :/

I honestly can't say who stole my games as I had many people come in and out my house back in the day. But I'm missing Legend of Dragoon ( I worked a summer job for this!) and Dino Crisis 2.

I stole my non-greatest-hits copy of MGS1 from a friends friend. He lent me the game, but the day I went to give it back to him I stayed at his house for a bit and on my way out I took the game again. That was like 13 years ago.
 
None but I borrowed Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time from my friend and never returned it. He kind of grew out of Nintendo games I suppose so I don't think this is a grave crime.
 
Just one that I can remember.

Kirby's dreamland in sixth grade. Went to an overnight scout function and brought a gameboy with 1 game (Kirby). When I went home no game...

I've had "long borrow" games. The worst was Suikoden 3. 5 years after the "borrow" I wound up at the guys house for New Years. After most people were drunk I decided that I was going to find the game or see that he no longer had it. Took me an hour of snooping but I found it. As soon as I found it the dude wakes in saying "isn't that your game? You can take it back if you want..."
 
When I was 18 and leaving for basic training, I lent almost all of my PS1 RPGs to one of my oldest friends and his sister (who were both big RPG fans). I said that I couldn't use them while I was away, and I didn't want to leave them with my younger siblings.

Several months later, when I come back after basic and tech school, I ask for all my games back. "Oh, I thought you gave them to us." Uh, no. Why would I do that. Please give them back. "Well, uh, they've been in a box somewhere in our dad's garage ever since he moved." Their dad lived a couple hours away and none of us had a car - I was only visiting, too young to rent a car, and my friend only had a bike because he was in college.

I wondered if he was lying to me, so I looked all over his room after he went to his next class. Nothing.

A few year later, when I was stationed overseas, I took some leave to visit my friends back in the US. While visiting the same friend's house, I was showing them Metroid Prime, but I accidentally left the game in their GameCube when I left. Several months later I was given a new assignment at a base only about an hour from his house, so on my next visit, I asked for the game back. "Oh, I sold it." Christ, what an asshole.

Selling my game wasn't just a dick move, it didn't even make sense: this was in 2006, and a used copy of Metroid Prime cost about $4.50 at GameStop - meaning he sold it for under a buck. What the fuck?
 
We were robbed twice when I was a kid. The first time cost me and my siblings our Super Nintendo and all the games - including Donkey Kong Country, F-Zero, Mortal Kombat, and other greats. The second time years later at a different place cost us our Gamecube, N64, and all the games again. They also stole the ice cream out of the freezer - what a dick move! Other than that I've lent a game or two to friends and then both parties forget about it.

I'm not innocent myself though. I recently went through the box of games and found a Super Mario World cart. I never owned the game - I must have borrowed it from a friend back in elementary school and forgot about it.
 
-It was waaay back. A "friend" borrowed my Starcraft and never returned it.
I wasn't playing it at the moment so it took me a long time to remember that he had it, but once I asked him his answer was that a friend had borrowed it (you don't let people borrow stuff that isn't yours!!!!) and they had lost contact.

Oh and when I got my X360 I let a friend borrow my Ps2 with all my games. A few months later he returned with like a third of the games missing, another third of the games in terrible condition and most of the save files on my memory card replaced by random Fifa/Pes saves. It wasn't "stealing" was much as it was just taking terrible care of something that wasn't his. But ever since this happened I only let very close friends borrow my stuff.
Oh it should be noted that most games were pirated... but it was still my dear collection of games :(
 
I once let a friend borrow my copy of Pokemon Yellow (I had beaten it around a dozen times so I didn't mind letting someone else borrowing it) and a week later his family moved and I never heard from him again.

A friend left a copy of Super Smash Bros. Melee at my house that was stolen along with some money from my mom's purse and some jewelry from her room by another "friend" who then got destroyed the next day at school by the guy who owned Smash Bros.
 
A friend of mine borrowed Xenogears and Final Fantay Tactics for PS1 and never returned them. I think after a while he honestly forgot he had borrowed them from me, because years later I asked for them back and he did not appear to know what I was talking about.

Dark Cloud, Shadow of the Colossus, and a few other PS2 titles mysteriously disappeared from my library after a party once.

In grade school someone stole a gameboy advance and some pinball game from me. Don't remember what it was called. There were alligators or crocodiles on the board.

You'd think people would have the decency to keep secure the property of someone signing up for goddam war - let alone the property of a friend or relative... nope. People can't give a single fuck.
 
Had a neighborhood kid break into our home when I was 3 to only steal Kid Icarus.

Let a couple of older kids on the school bus "borrow" the guides to Chrono Trigger and Killer Instinct. Never saw them again.

Some lowlife drug addicts stole the discs to some games I left at my moms. Nothing of value and some worthless stuff. They overlooked the ps1 games which were all valuable.
