Picture the scene .... you return home from work/school to find your house has been ransacked, you notice your 'Cube is still there but there is a post-it note on your tv screen which reads "I have stolen your memory card call 01234 567890 with an offer for it's safe return, beware you can only make one offer. If it's too low you memory card will be formatted (the F word) and returned to you. If the offer is sufficient I will return it no harm done" (It was a big post-it note).

So how much would you offer, what is your memory card worth to you ?

THat was a joke, yes.

What I'd REALLY do, is, offer 1 quid, ifit's too low, I'd play the games again. Get the replay value I desire from them without having to A: delete the data, or B, push myself to NOT use the data on my card.

it's unobtainable, but it's easy to remember, probably worth a fortune,

Madmun's reply was funny yes, but most of the others make me wonder why I use the forums.

Actually, when I first read it, I thought this is what had actually happened to YOU.

Now I fell stupid.......er.

I would phone the police, saying that I had been robbed.

Tell them that there are probably fingerprints on the Gamecube, as it's virtually impossible to get the card out without touching my CUbe, and see if they can match the prints taken with something on their database.

All for a memory card.

I'd ignore it, change the locks, get an alarm fitted, and buy a new memory card.
