Have you ever had a DVD that's just...disappeared?

[Tarantino]

I was putting the Seven Samurai back on my DVD rack today and noticed that Se7en is missing. I don't know where it is, who took it, or how long it's been gone.

Now I'm pretty mad.

[teamwinfan]

Fritz the Cat. Vanished into thin air...

[DonnachaOne]

The General, a few years ago.

Today, Michael Collins.

Something's afoot. I blame Irish criminals.

[Joe Molotov]

I was going to watch The Exorcist a few days ago, only to discover that it was not on my shelf. It's absence is troubling.

[Forum Troll]

My copy of "Moulin Rouge!". Vanished into thin air. Searched hi and lo, never found it. So I bought another copy. Then a year later I found it at the bottom of the bag of clothes I don't wear that are destined for Good Will. How it got there, I have no idea.

[Jake77444]

My gladiator disappeared.

[nonametofame]

My copy of Garden State vanished. Luckily, I was able to get another copy at HWV for 5 bucks.

[Fincher Fan]

There's not a jury in the world that would convict you for beating the person who stole your Se7en DVD to death with your bare hands.

[gfoots]

I bought a used copy of Criterion's The Vanishing with the intention of selling. When I brought it home, the one I already owned was missing. I thought maybe someone stole mine and sold it to the resale shop but no one I know really had access to my collection, and if it was a burglar, why would he have only taken that one disc. A mystery to this day.

[FRwL]

You guys might have ghosts in your house, the apathetic ones that cause light activity as this.

[Dazed]

I thought I owned A Bridge too far, but when I went to get it off the shelf one day it wasnt there.

Maybe i just dreamed I owned it. The bright side was I went out and bought the new SE version instead :)

[Goat3001]

I've had a handful of DVD's go missing since starting college and bringing some of them to school. Most were borrowed and never returned. However, I can't find my copy of Frequancy for the life of me. I know I never brought it to school and I didn't let anyone borrow it. I'm starting to convince myself that I sold it, but can't remember when.

[antennaball]

Freaky Friday was missing for about 8 months or so until my wife finally found it. It was behind a row of our DVD's in the bookcase but it had gotten turned around and faced out but covered by all the DVD's that were in the right place spine facing out.

[ernestrp]

I lost Prom Night for about 2 to 3 years. It fell behind my dresser that is not moveable. I was taking the drawers out for some reason and there it was with some other crap.

[Butch Coolidge]

Still have my copy of Ocean 11II.

Anyone ?

[M Polo]

Somewhere during my last move I managed to lose John Lequizamo's The Pest. Obviously not a great movie but I always got a laugh out of it but it vanished...

[dvd-4-life]

Missing a Foghorn Leghorn dvd that I purchased from Poker Industries.

[ShallowHal]

I'm missing one disc from Knight Rider: Season One. It may have gone back to Walmart or Netflix, but then I'd have one of theirs. I sold a DVD player on craigslist, but I know I checked the tray before I unplugged it. To this day I have no idea where it is, and I checked everywhere. That was before my last move, so I have no idea where it is.

I keep telling myself I'll auction the rest of the set on eBay with tiny letters saying "disc 3".

-other-

[Joseph B]

Somehow, my "Die Another Day" has gotten away from me! I viewed it one time and then found that there wasn't enough room on the shelf to put it with the rest of the "Bonds". So I put it in the closet until I had time to free up some space for it. After I finally re-shuffled the titles on the shelf, I couldn't locate the DVD. That was over two years ago, and I have *no idea* what happened to it! (You notice that I haven't rushed out to re-purchase it! :) For some reason, pulling down "Goldfinger" from the shelf assuages the loss ... )

[Snowmaker]

I thought maybe someone stole mine and sold it to the resale shop but no one I know really had access to my collection, and if it was a burglar, why would he have only taken that one disc.

Maybe a rip in the space-time continuum caused you to buy your own copy from your future self. :scratch2:

This thread topic is a fear of mine. Luckily we never really have parties or a lot of company.

[spartanstew]

Was sorting some shelves last week and when I picked up American Pie, it felt different. Opened it up and there's no disc inside. No idea what happened to it.

[Snowmaker]

Was sorting some shelves last week and when I picked up American Pie, it felt different. Opened it up and there's no disc inside. No idea what happened to it.

I've had stuff like that happen (usually with CDs). It usually ends up that I had temporarily put the disk in the case of another to protect/transport it and forgot to remove it.

[joltman]

I just noticed the other day my Pink Floyd: The Wall DVD is no longer with me. I KNOW I used to have it, but I realized I haven't seen it in a couple years now, so I may have sold it, but I don't particularly remember that...

[kar10]

Perhaps many or all of you are getting old and started to forget where you left it.

Just recently I wanted to watch Carlito's Way and when I open the case the disc was gone! I tried looking for everywhere and couldn't find it.

I forgot that I place the dvd in The Blair Witch 2 movie case for some particular reason.

[FantasticVSDoom]

Ive lost Brotherhood of the Wolf twice now...No clue what the hell happened to it, and I dont loan my dvds out so, its a big fucking mystery.

[Canadian Bacon]

No but seriously I've had a few that I lost under the bed after I watched them in the bedroom

[nightmaster]

I usually have CDs disappear rather than DVDs, but I have had some DVDs go MIA for weeks at a time. I never loan out either so they're floating around somewhere in my place.

[matome]

Yeah, it was more likely one of my CD's go missing as they tend to travel with me and get left around.

[cajun_junky]

In the past, I did not keep track of who borrowed my dvds. After missing Lawrence of Arabia and Road to Perdition I began asking if anyone had it and of course NOBODY did. So I began writing down who borrowed what. Since then nothing has disappeared. Amazing!

[The Bus]

My Futurama Season 2 and Family Guy Volumes 1 and 2 discs are all missing.

Boxes, cases? Some missing, some not. Discs? Most missing.

:whofart:

[glasschicken]

Thank god it's not just me! There's Something More About Mary and Con Air. When I moved they seem to have gone somewhere else. It's been a year and a half and still no luck. Actually, don't really miss them though.

[devynal]

I lost the first season of Hogan's Heroes for about half a year.

I noticed the 2nd season was going to be released soon so I went to glance at my 1st one on the shelf and it was gone. I looked for it forever.

From advice from my dad, I looked under my mattress -- not under my bed but under the mattress, between it and the boxspring. There it was. I have no clue how it got there, but I was ecstatic to find it.

[Mr. Cinema]

none. I do an inventory count daily.










j/k

[gbub]

It's only happened once with a CD. The puzzling thing is the CD case was on the shelf, but the CD inside was gone. I'm not one of those people who leave discs lying around because I fear they will get scratched easily so where it could have gone is baffling.

[angelvamp13]

Never lost a DVD, but right now I have CD that is MIA. I have absolutely no idea where it is...I don't even think I've listened to is recently.

[freudguy]

This usually happens when my son takes one of the shelf and doesn't return it. I have found DVD's in his toy box, closet, in hus underwear drawer. There were times when he did return them that he would put them in the wrong place. I would look for them and eventually find them on another shelf completely. Also, when my baby girl started walking, the DVD shelves were one of her favorite destinations. I once found my copy of Fallen half-stuffed in the top of her diaper genie with the lid closed. Eh, I didn't think the movie was that bad ;)

I recently bought locking DVD cabinets. This doesn't happen anymore.

[nycbrent]

Mod Squad here - own it, watched it, cleaned the house from top to bottom and still have nothing but the empty case at this point. Not a huge loss, however...

[rmick]

Traveling from Urbana-Champaign back home to the Chicago suburbs over four years and always bringing back a new pile of 50 dvds I managed to only lose one DVD. Soderbergh's Solaris. You will be missed...whereever your are.

[canaryfarmer]

No, but I had a dream once where I ate a whole bunch of cotton candy, and when I woke up, my pillow was missing!

[gryffinmaster]

Has anyone ever traded away a DVD, then had the desire to watch it, went to the place where it would be on the shelf and ... poof?

Happened with Bruce Almighty. Wanted to see the Steve Carrell scene ... you know, THE scene that made that movie. Went to the Bs, looked and ... no Bruce.

[eXcentris]

My sad answer to this question is that I don't have a clue. :( My shelves are all full and I've got huge piles of DVD's on my living room floor and in my home office. And I don't have anymore room to put more shelves... The only unused/free space I could use is underneath the stairway that goes up to my mezzanine. I need to have shelving units built that could slide in and out of that space. Until that happens and I have all my DVD's in order and inventoried, I won't know if any are missing.

[Spanky BananaPants]

I had a Girls Gone Wild DVD go missing. I think one of the maintenance guys took it when they were fixing my furnace.

[jfrost]

I too had this happen... both Terminator 3 and Resident Evil 2 just vanished into thin air.

[Hubcap]

this is funny, i just went to watch sin city, open up the case and bam, the dvd is missing.

[bdots48]

I still think it's in the house somewhere,but I'm in denial. Unfortunately, one of my favorites and now out of print - the Criterion Collection The Harder They Come (ouch).

[woemcats]

It's happened t me twice, and both are a mystery. The first was, sadly, Deep Space Nine season 1 Disc 3. I remember watching it (perhaps in a different DVD player than normal, perhaps not). One day I looked and it was gone. Checked every DVD case I could find to no avail. Even checked CD cases.

The second one is even weirder because I never watched the movie. I got a Barbershop 1 & 2 pack for $9.99 at Wal-Mart, took the movies out of the slicover, looked at the discs. Then a month later (while looking one more time for the DS9), I find Barbershop is empty. I have no memory of taking the disc out.

I also misplaced Play It Again Sam for a long time, but that one I knew was in another case somewhere. I finally came across it in Foul Play one night.

Still haven't ended up watching anymore DS9 (I own all seven seasons) because I missed one episode on that disc. Stupid, I know.

[James Hardy]

I'm missing the disc to Wayne's World 2. The case is there.. but the disc is no where to be found. I have no Idea where it could be either.

[bluntman72]

for me it is Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. I always immediately put the DVD back in the case when I am done watching but when I checked the DVD is not in the case, but I am pretty sure I know who took it and he is not going near my house again so I just had to go pay 9.99 for a new one.

[DeeKay]

"Fiddler on the Roof" the dvd disappeared, but I still have the empty case. Very very curious....

[Greg613]

Step 1. Collect DVD's
Step 2. ?

I haven't lost any DVD's yet, but I have lost quit a few CD's. I am still looking for two CD's right now.

[pmreed]

My OOP copy of Much Ado About Nothing just up and disappeared. I replaced it with the new one, but still very curious what happened to the old one.

[joshtown]

I've lost a handful of DVD's from letting someone borrow them, which is why I'm pretty stingy on loaning them out these days. Though my original copy of Sin City is nowhere to be found. Luckily I bought the new special edition, so I'm not too worried.
I do believe there is a dvd thief, kind of like Santa Claus. He sneaks in at night, travelling from state to state, and takes a dvd or two from our collections thinking we'll never notice. Someone should alert the Feds.

[Numes]

One: Two Towers 2-disc set. I either lost it, or Columbia House never sent it to me. I have a feeling it was the latter, but it's definitely MIA.

[Rypro 525]

my alias season 1 disc 6. i was going to watch that disc a few nights ago, and its not in its spot, now i'm a bit pissed (i have watched the show before no biggie, on that, but i need a disc 6, to complete season 1

[bunkaroo]

I must be one anal retentive bastard, because I've never lost a DVD, or a CD, or a cassette when I was collecting those 18 years ago. I've always maintained large collections of media with no problem. Right now it's just me and my fiance, and we don't loan anything. We're in our own house.

When I used to rent, we had onsite rental management and maintenance. They had keys to every door. That's when I bought locking cabinets for my DVD's. These guys come in to change a filter or something, there's no way they're not going to notice my collection.

I use my DVDProfiler to do an inventory every couple of months to make sure I don't have stuff listed that I don't have, as well as if I have stuff I haven't lited yet. I tend to sell movies then re-buy them later at a cheaper price, so I have to stay on top of things!

[Wick]

I bought the Criterion 2 disc version of, "The Life Aquatic." I put it in my dining room (which is where a lot of my DVDs are cluttered, due to the fact that my racks are full, and I can't find it. I've looked all over. If I don't find it soon, I'm just going to buy it again, before it's oop.

[visitor Q]

Yeah, Banlieue 13 and I just got the thing about two months ago. And Ive been in the mood to watch it for about two weeks now. Major downer ...

[Tarantinoholic]

Well, it looks like the aforementioned evil DVD stealing Santa Claus has come to Canada, because my beloved copy of Clerks X has vanished into thin air. Now, I'm just a shell of a man.

[Albert71292]

So far, I've had no DVDs disappear. May be because I live alone (except for a cat), return them to the shelving unit right after viewing, and never let anyone borrow them, not even my closest friends!

/is a greedy old coot

[Tempermentalist]

yeah my From Dusk To Dawn...just vanished...i know i didnt loan it out..b/c i dont loan dvds..lol...hmmm

[gutwrencher]

I don't know where it is, who took it, or how long it's been gone.

[mrcoaster]

Somewhere around here is an extras disc from my Yearbook Edition of Freaks and Geeks. I moved a few months ago and had some things in two different places. It's around here somewhere. I just have to go through a few more boxes one of these days...

[GoldenJCJ]

My brother just recently returned a few DVDs he borrowed from me over a year ago...I didn't realize he had them or that they were even missing (out of sight, out of mind I guess).

On the plus side, it was like I was getting Panic Room and Bound for the first time all over agian.


Usually I don't even realize DVDs are missing unless I notice an empty slot on my shelf, and even then I have to seriously think about which movie it was by trying to figure out its alphabetical placement using the dvds on either side of the empty slot as clues.

[GIjon213]

I have the Sony 400 disc changer and a majority of my movies are in there. I leave the cases out for viewing. I have had a case some how make it to my door and the get left before. I have even had some one comment how there are no DVD's in the cases. That person doesn't come over anymore...

You gotta watch your friends when they come over.

[AnonomusBob15]

Wild at Heart. I still have the case, but the disc is gone and I haven't watched it since it's release.

Really really pisses me off, something a little more crappy could have gone missing.

[calhoun07]

I can't find my expanded edition of Lord of the Rings Return of the King, and it's pissing me off. Last year (or so), I suspected that a DVD of mine had been stolen (http://forum.dvdtalk.com/showpost.php?p=5506419&postcount=1). Well, the one that I am noticing is gone is LOTR Return of the King. I hope to find it around someday, stuck in some corner, but I can't shake that what if feeling that somebody came in to my apartment for maitenance and saw all my DVDs and decided I wouldn't miss one of them.

[nightmaster]

Slightly OT, but my boss has a penchant for loaning out his CDs to pals all the time......and hey, more power to him but I've also seen him replace several of those in the last few years.

We have one friend I named "The Black Hole"...which I read that Ackroyd used to call Belushi. He'd give him a cigarette lighter and poof.....a minute later it was gone, nowhere to be found!

[Jon2]

I'd say it sounds like some of you may have light-finger friends/relations.

I haven't had a single DVD disappear (knocks on wood). Since my DVDs go from case to player and back to the case, none are likely to either. The first time one does will be the last time. I won't waste any time putting locks on my cabinets, because I'll have a darn good idea why they disappeared and who the responsible party (or parties) may be.

[T.Bickle]

I've had several go missing only to find them at my jackass "friends" houses later. Eventually they learned that I keep up with what's in my collection.

[SLeopold]

A few years ago, I went out of town for the weekend. My wife had my in-laws over most of the weekend. When I came home, I went to put a movie in for the kids, and oddly enough, the first movie I grabbed for (some Disney title, can't remember which) was gone. I looked all over, couldn't find it, and tried to forget about it, figuring it was around somewhere. A couple days later, I looked all over the house, then did a complete inventory of our collection. Sure enough, the DVD was gone. As were a few books. I knew my father-in-law had taken them, but he wouldn't admit to it. My wife and my parents suggested that I just rebuy the DVD and missing books, but I refused. I didn't see any reason why I should have to shell out $50 because my father-in-law didn't want to admit he'd stolen from us. This dragged on for a couple months, and got to be a bit of a problem. I probably would have made just as big a deal had it only been one book , or just a DVD, but considering he stole a total of $50 worth of stuff, including a DVD we watched all the time, and a couple cookbooks we used quite frequently, I considered it to be a very big deal. If I'd have walked into a store and stolen the same items to replace the ones he'd taken, then told the store to ignore it because the stealing and lying was just in my nature, I suspect they would have been just as eager to prosecute me.

Anyways, after a couple months, my parents "found" an extra copy of the Disney DVD in the drawer where they kept their old VHS tapes (which hadn't been opened for months prior to when this whole incident began due to some remodeling they'd done). They didn't know which books had been taken, otherwise they'd have "found" those as well. As for the books, even though my wife found our books at her parents' house, her dad refused to let her take them, insisting that he'd bought them for himself, and had somehow replicated the notes I'd taken on some of the pages in my very own handwriting. She finally told him that we wouldn't be bringing the kids back over if this was the example he was going to be setting for them. While that should have been the end of it, his next step was to throw the books away to prove that he'd never had them. Eventually, though, he broke down and replaced them. The funny thing about all this is that my in-laws didn't even have a DVD player at the time.

I've had a couple others disappear, but those had all fallen behind our shelves and turned up eventually. I do a complete inventory at least once a year, and that usually gets everything back in its proper place.

I NEVER lend out any DVDs to friends or family. I'm not selfish by any means, just protective of my collection. If anyone wants to see a title I own, i'll gladly burn them a copy. This way I never have to worry about when i'm going to get my disc back and the recepient is happy too. It's a win-win.

[big e]

I've never had this happen to dvds, but I have had it happen to 2 games: Legend of Zelda for NES and Duke Nukem 3D for PC. I lost my Zelda game sometime in the mid '90s and found it a few years later behind the baseboard heat in my basement when I was moving my tv stand. I dusted it off, poped it in my Nintendo, and it worked fine. Duke Nukem, however, is still MIA. I lost it in either '98 or '99 and have since come to the conclusion that it was stolen by this kid I used to hang out with when I was in 7th grade. I severed contact with him a year later due to him being an asshole.

[TNAJason]

My sister makes this happen to me all the time,well now she lives in Texas and me in Ohio,so it won't happen again.
Examples....
Just got the Simpsons season sets,and I wanted to watch Season 1 -nowhere to be found. I was like WTF? I knew my sister (and brother-in law) had borrowed dvds,but they said they wrote them all down. 3 1/2 months later,she returns dvds,which included everything on the list plus Simpsons,and my non-noticed missings titles Ocean's Eleven & Twelve. I also one time wanted to watch Sweet Home Alabama. Looked in the Ss,a missing spot where it goes,looked through the whole collection,no dice. My sister then says 8 months later that her favorite movie was Sweet Home Alabama(of all time,it was good,but WTF?) and I was like the funny thing is I can't find my copy. She laughs. "Because I had it" I paused feeling relieved,then for some reason that word "had" struck me. I said "had?" she said yeah,it broke and she had to throw it away,because she watched it so many times,she said she would "buy me another one". 12 months later,still no replacement and she lives in Texas,so I'll prob have to buy it again. That my friends is my sister,who also lost back in the day,MY SEGA GENESIS+SEGA CD player. I played this all the time. Mostly WWF RAW,Sonic,and a Zombie game where a African-American with long braided hair takes you thorugh and you have to shoot the zombies,with a thick Jamacian(sp?) accent.

And other news,what the hell happens to all my Cassette Cases? I have no clue. AudioBooks are find,I mean Stand-Up Comedy & Music Cassettes. Who comes into peoples house and steals these things. The tapes are fine,but who knows about the cases.

[Libby]

cant say Ive lost any dvds, but tons of cds have gone missing, seems easier to loose those more then anything.

[imp66]

Once Upon a Time in the West. Gone. Into thin air.

[AJAX]

I bought a used copy of Criterion's The Vanishing with the intention of selling. When I brought it home, the one I already owned was missing. I thought maybe someone stole mine and sold it to the resale shop but no one I know really had access to my collection, and if it was a burglar, why would he have only taken that one disc. A mystery to this day.

I guess you can say it "vanished".

[ChrisTurner]

Funny thread. I just had to re-purchase When Harry Met Sally, as the first copy I had disappeared!

[marcellusk]

last year i went to watch in to deep and the disc was gone but the case was still there. It still bothers me to this day!

[tdirgins]

Pee Wee's Big Adventure. Gone, just like his bike.

A Bug's Life CE

Used to use it as a demo disk for work and now its gone.

[TimeandTide]

A couple years ago, while in the process of moving, I was tossing out old magazines. When flipping through an old issue of Esquire, I discovered the Netflix rental "Full Alert," a movie I'd rented SIX MONTHS prior. I think I had used the sleeve and the then just-watched DVD as a book mark.

[Deadman31]

Im missing Finding Nemo, Disc 2 of Unforgivable Blackness and the outer case to my first season of All in the Family.

[Mikael79]

I had about 20-30 DVDs disappear a few years back when an ex-girlfriend moved out of my house. Must have just been a coincidence, though...right?? :)

And fear not - I've repurchased most of the DVDs, and also kept a lot of her stuff, so we're even.

[counpk39]

I've had many out on loan to friends/family, but I can't find Fritz the Cat. I always log borrowed movies with names and dates on a notepad.

[fargus]

I don't loan out discs, but for those who do, DVDProfiler has a nice tracking feature, including due dates and overdue reports...

[Htom Sirveaux]

Wake Up Ron Burgundy, the Anchorman "sequel". The last time I recall seeing the case was on the shelf right next to Anchorman. I remember telling a friend about it who I thought I might've loaned it to, but he swears he never borrowed it. I live alone and don't invite people over who I don't trust. It is a mystery.

[xia]

Well...

Deep Blue sea and The Patriot are nowhere to be found. I dont even recall the last time I watched either.

[eedoon]

None yet, thankfully. I had my DVD room locked most of the time. You can't be too careful on this kind of thing. :D

[dvd_luver]

Flight Of The Phoneix with Dennis Quaid. It seems like it vanished into thin air. Still a mystery since I bought it. Maybe a ghost took it and sold it used.

[BrentLW]

I just found my missing copy of Up In Smoke. I had put it on a stack of comic boxes and forgot about it. I had The First Nudie Musical go missing too. THen I got a call from my mom's friend who I sold my old computer to. It was left in the DVD-Rom drive lol Her husband asked where I got it

[BassDude]

I'm missing the disc to Wayne's World 2. The case is there.. but the disc is no where to be found. I have no Idea where it could be either.

This one freaks me out. I went to watch "In The Bedroom", opened the box, and no disc. WTF?!?!?! Also Austin Powers 3 and one other that I forget. I could see one of my kids friends taking AP3, but In The Bedroom? (Unless they thought it had lots of nude scenes. Imagine their reaction if this was the case.)

I hope it was something stupid like putting it in another case doubled up, but I never do that. Kids may have tho. Haven't found it and it's been over a year.

[MasterCXtreme]

Just realized my Sin City SE is no longer on my shelf. (!!!!) Weird thing is, there wasn't a gap in that row today.

After digging through most of my room, I hopped on DVDaff and found out that The Girl Next Door is also missing.

I thought I'd jump on here and vent some of my frustration. I couldn't possibly imagine somebody being in my room who would steal those two particular movies. Am I going insane? Did I even have those two titles to begin with? AHHH! Couldn't they have just taken my children or my pets?

I was moving to a new apt. one summer and tossing out old magazines. I pick up a 6 month old copy of Entertainment Weekly and out drops a Netflix rental that had "disappeared" 6 months earlier.

[d2cheer]

Well if you have kids... it is pretty easy for them to turn up missing... or in the wrong case etc...

Ladder 49 and Mr. & Mrs Smith come to mind as magically vanishing in our house, AND being replaced by an extra copy of Rush Hour 2 that was in the Ladder 49 case!! So thinking that Ladder 49 was in the Rush Hour 2 case I checked it... nope it has Rush Hour 2 in it... Go figure!

Never have lost a dvd, but I did borrow Mask of Zorro from a friend years ago. I "borrowed" the movie for over a year mainly because my freind moved to another city and I didn't see him that often. When I returned the dvd he asked "Why didn't you just keep it?" My response, "I didn't like it".

[audiomixer]

None!!!

[Mondo Kane]

Yup.

Currently can't find my The Passion disc.

[DeepBlue]

Yep, I am missing Blade Runner and There's Something About Mary. Strange.......

[Wick]

I bought, "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou" Criterion, and I can't find it. I had it in my dining room, and now it's M.I.A. I hope that it's jut been misplaced.

[DVDsAreMyLIFE]

I interestingly enough found Gladiator in my collection...no clue where it came from.

[GoldenJCJ]

I recently noticed my Finding Nemo was missing, now that I think ablout it, I haven't seen it in a couple of years.

Of course I have to lose a DVD from the one studio that doesn't reduce prices after several months.

Now that it's missing I'm in the mood to watch it.


Oh and my Gladiator DVD is miss.....hey wait a minute!

[deadpool24]

yes, I am missing Falling Down.

[ReduxGuy]

My copy of Quills vanished nearly a year ago.

[Living Dead]

This happened to me just last night. I finally bough the SE of Metroplis from Kino, and I went to get my old copy to see if there was anything on the old disc that would merit keeping it. But it was gone. And I never lend my DVD's to anyone, so the only possibility is that it was stolen, and I have so many DVD's that I didn't notice.

[M Polo]

Sometime during a move I made a few years back I lost my copy of "The Pest" w/ John Lequizamo. That was probably a good thing, lol.

Either way I just moved again and I have indeed somehow misplaced my Digipak version of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre". I have no idea where it disappeared to.

[NoirFan]

My copy of Barfly disapeared some months ago, and it is OOP now, of course.

[vballboy51]

i have completly misplaced a disc from the simpsons s4. i think disc 2. i'm so angry about it that i haven't bought another season of the simpsons and have banished the (most of) 2 that i have to a closet so i don't have to look at them. it makes me SO MAD. where are you disc 2?!

[PortlandFilmGuy]

Robocop Criterion. :(

[ytrez]

Can't find Action: Complete Series.

[AOD]

Nothing but trouble just went "poof" one day and was gone. Who know's why it was that one out of the collection. On the other hand, Finding Nemo also went "poof" and appeared on my shelf one day. Hmmm, now I have two, although disc two is missing. Maybe the DVD fairy took GoldenJCJ's discs and gave them to those in need :)

[benjsimpson]

Blackadder:..."It's completely vanished"

Baldrick...slowly: "Like an old oak table"

Blackadder, irritably: "Vanished Baldrick, not varnished"

Baldrick: "Oh no, my great uncle had an old oak table, and then one day, during the great fire of London, it completely vanished"

[DonnachaOne]

Currently can't find my The Passion disc.It ascended

[DVDMagic]

Really pissed because I had been lending a buddy of mine at work movies and he always bought them back within a day or so. Anyway, I lent him a couple including the original Season 1 box set of 'The X Files' and he, let's say, fell off the wagon, left the job and didn't return any of my movies. :grunt:

[resinrats]

Pee Wee's Big Adventure. Gone, just like his bike.


Francis!!!!

I was on a tour at the Alamo and asked where the lost and found was. They said "Downstairs".

[dogmatica]

North By Northwest and Toy Story / Toy Story 2 - both missing going on five years.

[Don Homer]

i have completly misplaced a disc from the simpsons s4. i think disc 2. i'm so angry about it that i haven't bought another season of the simpsons and have banished the (most of) 2 that i have to a closet so i don't have to look at them. it makes me SO MAD. where are you disc 2?!

Now this is weird, I'm missing the same disc! Simpsons Season 4, Disc 2. Just disappeared out of thin air.

[clappj]

I can't find my Battle Royale set, and I never even got a chance to watch it. :(

[critterdvd]

I love the third disc to "Buffy the VAmpire Slayer Season 3" about a week after the set came out... I found it like 2 1/2 years later in one of my grandpa's Jazz CD cases...

[KFelon]

My copy of Quills vanished nearly a year ago.
Such an awesome movie, luckly it's only a $7-$10 dvd.

My 1st dvd I ever bought back in 2000, House on Haunted Hill... loan out, got it back, less than a day later it vanished off my desk at work. I bought another copy for like $2, but still my 1st dvd MIA/stolen.

[matome]

A couple of my Seduction Cinema titles seem to have walked :mad: I have so many DVD's that it would be pretty easy for me to not even know they were gone till I do an inventory.

[AllHallowsEve]

Had some DVD's stolen. Started thining out my collection around this time. Another problem I couldn't stand was the 50% depreciation in 6 months for so many. It's to be expected, but it did bother me. I ended up becoming strict and I do know everything that is there. I would notice it missing immediately now.

But, yeah. That really sucks and you have a really crappy friend or whoever. This happens to alot of people though. Just consider yourself lucky it's not something much worse like your grandfathers rolex from 1930 or the emergency money you have hidden (just examples). Use this incident as a small warning. There are a lot of item scoopers. Way more than you think.

[Xbox69]

Just realized my copy of Hoot which I received only last week (CH) is not in my Panasonic 5 disc DVD player. That is the last place I remember viewing it sometime last weekend. I usually don't remove the discs but leave them "stored" there and I powered it off. I thought it could've slipped off the carousel but I hear nothing unusual when the tray is spinning and the other 4 discs are playing normally. Looked thru my newest DVD binder where I have my latest discs (the only one I've been using lately) and it's not there either.

I probably misplaced it but I'm drawing a total blank now. *sigh*

:hscratch:

Edit: Darn! It had fallen off the carousel tray. :grumble: I couldn't think of anywhere else it could be so I disconnected the player and 1 quick turn upside down *ding* confirmed it. I then reconnected and spun the tray and there it sat dislodged but data side down. A few noticeable scratches but it plays ok. This probably had something to do with the Play 1 / Change 4 feature which I only recently started utilizing. I've had the player since January with no other problems. Lesson learned.

[andicus]

Everybodies missing stuff is in the hozone (http://www.unwords.com/unword/hozone.html) . Sheesh...

For me it's CDs. Genesis - A Trick of the Tail and Beatles - Sgt. Pepper both just disappeared. Also a few LP's magically vanished. Stuff like this drives me crazy.

[Jboone]

A few months ago I went to pull out Poseidon Adventure so that my daughter could see the original before we saw the re-make. I searched high and low. Poof! Gone!

[fut]

I've just replaced "Uncommon Valor" for the third time.
Luckily I found a new copy in the bargain bin.

[Giles]

I can't seem to locate my DVD 'Video compliation (from the British group) FEEDER'

found it over the weekend :)

[Demontooth]

Star Wars - A New Hope...disk disappeared right out of the case

[antennaball]

Freaky Friday was missing for over a year. Turned out that it had gotten turned around and slid behind a row of DVD's in my bookshelf.

[Rypro 525]

yep, my mom was looking for my Rock criterion and couldn't find it, and now after a few days, we still don't know where it is.

[thomkai]

At first I thought no, not much, but after a second of thought...

-Elliott Smith's From a Basment on A Hill (CD)
-Smashing Pumpkins Meloncholy & The Infinite Sadness (CD, Both Discs)
-Probably a lot more cds; I tend to take them out of the cases and keep them in a binder, but some go missing for some reason...

-Simpson's, Season 4 ENTIRE SET - I think my old roomate 'borrowed' this one. Luckily, my g/f replaced it for me for my b-day.
-Bowling for Columbine - Had to re-buy it from DDD cause it was like $6, but I (stupidly) payed $20 when it was released. (Since then I've gotten a little wiser with how I spend my money).

-FF VII, (Game, PS1) - I had this a year ago, somehow lost during a move I guess...

I also, when reading this thread, saw someone mention that their 2-Disc Criterion of Life Aquatic went missing. I wondered if I had a single disc or 2, open the case and, *poof* discs is missing. My brother had it, got it back, but very odd.

[exharrison]

Rundown. It's Just not in the case anymore.

[Apone]

Ugh, this thread is too scary for me.

[mifuneral]

The first disc of my copy of Fraggle Rock s1 is gone. I have no idea what happened to it. I might have stuck it in a different dvd case (which is odd for me) but I don't remember doing that. And it would take a long time to sort through my 200+ dvd collection to find it. It's a bit frustrating.

[DarkPhantom13]

I just noticed 2 days ago when i was re-arranging my dvd's on a new dvd shelf that my Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom was missing from my box set. :( I searched my entire house and much to my avail...nothing! So now i was forced to buy one off of ebay for $7.

[chileorgullo]

Bought Pee Wee's Playhouse complete series about a month ago. Went to watch Disc 9. The case was there, but no disc. Never had watched it. Is it possible that it was omitted at the factory?

[Jah-Wren Ryel]

I make it a point to lend from my extensive collection as much as possible with as few restrictions as possible - I just keep a log of who has what out and leave it at that. I've had people borrow dvds for months at a time without a problem.

In my 4-5 years of lending, I've only had 3 people "lose" a dvd. Each one was willing to pay to replace it, no problem. But I told them to hold off and see what happens. In each case, the discs were found usually more than a year later and usually when the borrower was in the process of moving to a new apartment or house and it turned up behind some obscure piece of furniture.

[girlnextdoor]

We had a case of 16 DVD's get stolen when out house got broke into. We knew the case was full, because my husband had just retruned from a trip and had taked all of them with him. We finally threw the cases away and replace all of them along with everything else that got stolen. It was strange, the entire 7 shelves of DVD'd was not touched, but a travel case in another part of the house was taken.

[JCFantasy23]

Yes!! Smallville is my favorite show, and my father and I share the collection. We're both careful as hell to place it right back in the box when it's done. One day a disc from season three just vanished. I checked every dvd I owned, all over the house. Been six months or more now, it's officially gone and no one knows how

[SINGLE104]

Well, DVDs just don't grow feet, and walk out the door. Apparently, either a friend, or family member who were visiting at the time, could have stolen these missing DVDs, without everyone's knowledge.

[Graystone]

My dvds stay put, however my cds go missing.

[g]

My Citizen Kane dvd went missing from the case. The movie not disk 2. I've been looking for it for a year or so.

[NoirFan]

Bought Pee Wee's Playhouse complete series about a month ago. Went to watch Disc 9. The case was there, but no disc. Never had watched it. Is it possible that it was omitted at the factory?

I've bought 2 dvds from DDD, Killers Kiss and the TV version of Dr. Zhivago, that were missing dvds, so it certainly is possible. When preparing a list for the Horror Challenge, I noticed my Dog Soldiers dvd was missing.

[dvd_luver]

yep, my mom was looking for my Rock criterion and couldn't find it, and now after a few days, we still don't know where it is.

I'd be so pissed if I lost The Rock: Criterion Collection, I watch that film at least a couple times a month, I hope you can locate it.

[NoirFan]

yep, my mom was looking for my Rock criterion and couldn't find it, and now after a few days, we still don't know where it is.

If your mom can't find it then you're screwed. They are the acknowledged masters of finding missing stuff.
