Mostyn6 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 A few years ago, I got burgled and it crushed me, lost my whole CD collection, DVDs, Xbox Games, and lots of other stuff. The odd thing was, the burglar(s) left me one of everything. They left one CD, one DVD, one VHS tape, one speaker (wtf!), one TV!, one (Simpsons) slipper... If you was going to lose all of your material possessions, but were allowed to keep 5 DVDs, 5 CDs and 5 books, and you could NEVER replace the others, that was the extent of your collection for the rest of your life, what would they be?
