I suppose living in a sketchy appartment near the university was just asking for trouble but for the second time this year I got robbed. The first time around I lost my TV shure se846s, and the fiio e17. This time around the thief took off with my schitt stack (Original Magni Modi), LCD-2s, my laptop, and some $10 dollar headphones. Thankfully i had my second pair of se846s with me. Would love to see some stories so I can feel a bit better about being broken into twice

$8,000...stolen from me by my own mother many years ago. Lesson learned: never get a joint bank account!
 
As far as someone breaking in, I've only been robbed once. They took some DVD box sets, a watch, and other things. Only a few hundred dollars' worth of stuff. They didn't touch my headphones, laptop, or other technology, thankfully.

This year I lost my mobile phone and transportation card (used to pay bus/train fares) on two separate occasions.
 
Thankfully my phone was a cheap one but that card contained around S$100 plus.

I lost my first high-end iems, the Ultimate Ears Triole.Fi 10 anf my 80-gig iPod classic at school back in 2009.

That... was most inconvenient.

Had an excellent Orbea carbon fiber road bike stolen from outside my doctor's office. I didn't have a good enough lock on it--lesson learned. Never put a cheap lock on an expensive bike.

Still there hardly exist a proper lock that is in any way portable. any good bolt scissor take care of anything with ease. So it would likely get stolen anyway.
 
A better strategy would be to somehow make your expensive bike look cheap. And of course put some kind of lock so the drug people don´t wants it as a transportation device.

Good advice.

Had my specialized mountain bike stolen out of the garage. The bike was disassembled and in pieces for maintenance at the time, and the guy even stole a bucket to haul away all the components along with the frame. It was my first major purchase using my own money too, so that stung a bit.

That took some serious commitment--and cojones-- to take a completely disassembled Specialized from your garage. Bummer. Hope it was insured...

This is why we all need security systems and/or security guards at our beck and call. XD

4 watches, my Sony MDR7506 and a cellphone stolen; 2 lost watches.
 
Probably more too but the watches bite me the most
