CD as in compact disc?
What did you have like 10k of them?
Yes, Compact Disc’s. This was long before iTunes or even Napster. Both myself and my GF at the time had a great passion for music (I still do), so our collection was somewhat vast. Approx 2 to 3k of CD’s were stolen - given the average price for a CD at the time was about $15 to $20 CAN, it easily was valued at approx. $40K. They also stole various containers to cart them out like our laundry hamper and a few pillow cases.
Ow. That's painful. One thing I've always done is make sure even if I switch to never let something lapse. I've only had to use it once in my life, but I am super glad I had it. Even with the decades of premiums I still came out ahead.
Yes, it was a hard lesson to learn. Even came up with my own conspiracy theory that it was the insurance company that that broke in given our departure was not the most pleasant. But given the nature of the theft I suspect it was a friend or a friend tipped some else off.
