LONG sad story, please read :(

[Mr. Toad]

I would like to commend you on your maturity and values. Your cousins are way more important than the movies. Best of luck finding them or perhaps your cousins will find them,

Cousins definitely are more important than some movies, but everyone should have the common sense to take care and keep track of things they borrow from others, DVDs included. After all, he could have refused, but he was kind enough to lend the DVDs out. The cousin should have honored that and kept better care of them rather than leave them around (which I assume she did), and in the end only find one disc out of six.

I'm really sorry to hear this, and it kind of burns me to read it. I don't care who you give it to, if they treat your things like SH*T, that is totally messed up!! I mean you went out of your way to lend your DVDs to them, and a lot of people don't know much about DISNEY DVDs (the whole vault thing). All I'm saying there are things I don't let anyone barrow, in fact sorry to sound, I guess SELF FISH, but I don't let anyone barrow anything of MINE!!!

That's a real shame. To be generous enough to loan your DVDs, epecially out-of-print DVDs and to have 5 out of 6 come up missing. It amazes me how careless people can be with DVDs. My ex-wife was like that. I always had to go behind her and put them in their cases after she left them out and on tables or on top of each other. Good luck replacing them.

I think I had a very good suggestion, so I'll repeat:

Ask them what they think the logical and reasonable solution would be.

I think most people would sort-of be forced to come up with the right answer to that question all by themselves in a situation like this. What do you think?

I don't understand why cousins are a greater value than dvds.It sounds really weird, I know, but my cousins are not so tied up with me, I can barely consider them as part of the family.They aren not starving or just being poor so that I should feel sorry for them and give them all my stuff. They have EVERYTHING that they want and they just want more, more, MORE!!! Cousins, especially the very young ones, are nothing but a mess. They only thing that I would like to do to children which claim my stuff in such a rude way, only because their parents haven't taught them how to be nice and polite,is treat them the same way: destroy all their favourite toys and stuff and watch them cry! The fact that they're my cousins doesn't mean that they love me- they only want my stuff- so why should I care about them? And sometimes their mothers are even more rude than them! They say: Oh, come on, you are 19 years old, what do you need those childrens' movies? And then I have to be very bad, because I paid for those movies and I actually love them because they are a part of me, a part of my childhood, a part of my happiest memories!! This is my value, and not to turn my cousins into egoistic, selfish pigs!

Okay, I have a suggestion here to those of you with inconsiderate/forgetful relatives: if you are really worried about them losing/damaging your DVDs, then if they want to borrow a particular movie, why not invite them over for a movie night? That way, the DVD never leaves home, you all get to enjoy a good movie, and your relatives won't think any less of you (especially if you have some good snacks, too...that seems like a far trade-off for the assured safety of your DVDs). Everybody wins...unless of course you just can't stand your relatives, but then why would they be asking to borrow your DVDs in the first place?
