This is why I move everything by hand. I'm very protective of my stuff and don't trust anyone else to jack around with it. I've moved cross-country several times, but every time I did all the work myself. Of course I understand this isn't possible for everyone. Just another reason to own a truck!

 

My family does the same. However in this case, a truck burning could happen to anyone even if they own and drive their own truck. The point is to get insurance as Mandigo Rex can testify to! I think the worst disaster for me was getting lazy on backing up all my rendering work from a 3 month span, only to have my hard drive fail permenantly. From then on I got OCD about backing up my work and also uploading copies to my private online server. You can never be too safe!

That really sucks. I hope you refill your collection! :rock that you had insurence!

If I move I would move my stuff especially my G1s with me in my vehicle it wouldn't matter to me if i had to make several trips. But wow, I've never seen the pics.

Apparently the links expire. Check the first post again, I edited it.

 

The pics are not pretty, especially since they're so far gone that you can't make anything out. Somewhere in there, died a big mass of metal and plastic. :(

Mandigo Rex,

 

Man, am I sorry to hear what happened to you! My deepest condolensces; and my thanks to you. A sizeable portion of my collection consists of modified/kitbashed work, and I never really considered what would happen if something like that were to occur. Thank you for jolting me from my complacency. BTW, if you need parts, I think I may have a few spares lying around; let me know, and I'll see what I can scrounge up. It may not be much, but at least it could help.

Hey thanks for the comments, guys.

 

Just want to share my unfortunate luck's experience with others.

Hope everyone took the info to heart, it sucks losing an entire collection in a flash.
