The only one that I've actually lost was stolen. The door to my apartment didn't get shut all the way (one of my roommates...) and somebody walked right in and took The Sopranos Season 3, which was sitting on my couch. It was more of a slap in the face than anything though, because they didn't touch anything else. They left about 200 DVDs untouched including seasons 1 & 2.
A lot of times I lose track of my DVDs when my roommates lend them out (they've been told several times not to do so). I don't mind letting my friends borrow my movies, but I want to be the one lending them out. Or sometimes somebody will ask me if they can borrow a movie after I've been out partying a little to hard.
*sigh* I do miss that Sopranos set though. I'm too poor to buy it again right now.

i'm partially to blame for not keeping track of all of my titles, but i never imagined that one would turn up missing.
i've cross-referenced my dvd-afficiando list to make sure nothing else is missing. sure enough, it's only old school.
sure, i'll buy another if i must. but i can't stop thinking about where the hell it went! i am very clean and tidy, organized and such. so this is very unusual.

On a related note every time I loan out The Iron Giant I can guarantee that I won't ever see it again, now when I loan one out I just tell the person they can have it and buy a new one, when they ask why I just say "you'll see..." and sure enough they never want to part with it once they have seen it.

I do not lend out my DVD... I have them in alpha-order, and I alway return the DVDs. DVD Profiler have helped me a lot, and it also has a feature where you can check it if you lend it out.

I have over 400 DVDs and haven't lost one yet. Do you share your place with someone else? Maybe one of your roommates borrowed it and forgot to ask you first?

Never lost one, and I never lend out because nobody asks to take one, it's "Hey when you come over want to bring a DVD or two?"
I keep them in nice condition on nice shelves, my movies deserve to be safe
