Maybe because these two are out of print (especially the Tomorrowland DVD. It had a low print run). This guy's probably smart enough to know he can get a good penny for them.

I say you get to "borrow" his wife...at least as long as it takes to watch those discs.

Randy Miller III 12-20-04 03:48 PM

At least he has good taste... ;)

Dude, if your dad makes over 200K a year then he is rich and he should get stolen from. I don't know what he's whining about!

Hooray for redistribution of wealth!!!

^^^ LOL @ Peep!


seriously though tell your dad to call him and get them back.. doesn't matter how much he makes...


Although i think some of the responses here are a little extreme... cut him off & never talk to him again? don't let him over?


that's a little extreme... but as the saying goes..


Shame on you if you fool me once
Shame on me if you fool me twice

gutwrencher 12-20-04 04:31 PM

lock and key is the only way to go. it's getting old....people complaining about missing dvds. prevention is essential. and easy.

I think the saying is supposed to go:

"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, we won't get fooled again".

I'd cut off his hands. That's what they do in the Middle East.

Yes, you should keep all of your possessions under lock and key. Also, you should keep guns in your house to protect yourself and your family from DVD thieves and A-rabs. -rolleyes-

nope...just crackheads and idiot people in general. all of my films/dvds are in the film vault, yes, which is locked. try to find a post over the last few years where I was frustrated over missing/damaged discs. prevention means you won't be wasting time sobbing.

or you could just not have thieves for friends.

Report him to the police, i would do it in a hearbeat. But then again i don't like my cousins. And i know how you feel. My mother makes 200.000 dollars a year, and my family. cousins and stuff act like we should be ashamed.

Family or not, someone with that much disrespect for me is no longer allowed in my house. Period.

Inform your aunt and uncle of your decision, spend $50-60 to replace the two titles, and move on.

Steve Phillips 12-20-04 04:57 PM

1. Don't loan DVDs. That's what Blockbuster is for.

2. Don't let your dishonest and disrespectful cousin in your house any more.

Mr. Salty 12-20-04 04:59 PM

Oh Dalvin, Dalvin ... I'm afraid Santa's going to leave a lump of coal for you this year. Or your identical twin cousin.

My son had a small party once when we were on vacation for the weekend. Without his knowledge his "friends" stole some wine, a small speaker and a few DVD's. (I never did get to watch Fight Club!) We could afford the loss but those SOB's will never cross my doorstep again.


I agree with bboisvert. Ban him from your home and make it well known.

OldBoy 12-20-04 05:11 PM

Isn't an "out house" the term they used for bathrooms in the oldin days? Why would your dad keep his DVD collection in the bathroom?

El-Kabong 12-20-04 05:11 PM

hmmm, this seems a bit suspect:

Print a picture of the cover art to the DVD's he stole, wrap them up, and give tell him that the DVD's are his christmas Present

What's that going to teach him ? I doubt a cousin was expecting a high dollar gift from them anyway. You and your dad should show up at his house, get invited inside, and don't leave until you have the dvds.

As for the situation. You sure your identitical twin brother who sometimes post as you didn't do it? He seems like the unreasonable one that ask for porn in adult talk.

Perhaps you can just take out some of the money from the african childerns fund and buy your dads dvds again? Just a thought.

:lol:

Dalvin's (fictional) stories get crazier & crazier.

What is this about? I've read a few "Dalvin threads" and they always seem like BS to me. Does the guy have a history of telling lies and getting caught in them? If so, that's hilarious.

When did $200,000 a year become rich?


Anyway:

To be fair, referring to where your parents live as home is reasonable to me. I still call where I grew up (and where my mother lives) home even though I havent lived there for years. As to the rest, well I cant speak to that - but this bit doesnt seem so far out to me.
