"Gold Experience," "Dirty Mind," "Controversy" and "Lotusflow3r" all stolen!

Last night some fine folks broke into my car and did a very professional job.

They stole my radio, my CD changer, my subwoofer, etc. etc. and those 4 freaking CDs.

All of which need to be replaced.

You think the thieves would be decent enough to leave the CDs in the changer, after all there's no jewel cases to sell them with.

But, freaking no! Fucking "Gold Experience!"

They'll probably just toss 'em.

Thieves suck.

Sorry to hear it.

If it helps, I had something like this happen to me about 10 years ago. I had a single CD player in my car.

What was in the slot when it was stolen? Purple Rain? No. Come? No. chaos?. No.

It was my only f**king original Undertaker CD! I never usually took it out (or even played it) for worry of damaging it, but on that sunny day, I decided to give the original a spin to see if it sounded better than the bootleg!

Doh!!!!!

They could have broken in and took everything BUT your Prince CD's...
and then how bad would you feel?

J/K...sucks dude...maybe a little birdie can burn the CD's for you.
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

All were ordered shellacked by Warners. Some got out, or were carefully un-shellacked.

Some leaked out, most with a coating on them to stop them being played. I had the coating removed so I could play it. Thats the bugger that got stolen.

It cost me £200 to replace it! More than the stereo was worth.

So that is what spuirrelgrease meant by shellacked. I would be gutted if something like that happenned, but i understand the need to take Undertaker out on a sunny day, it is perfect for cruising around with the top down.

Karma is a big ole betch and they will pay for that later on in life, but worse. And, the sad thing is is that they will probably cry woe is me and not get why they are going through a tough time...even though they are a piece of doody.

I HAAAAATE stealing.

The CD was originally intended to be given away with this magazine. The story goes that there were only 1000 copies of the disc pressed, but that seems low for a give-away. Nevertheless, it's rare to come across a playable copy that isn't a fake.

OMG I have that Magz. The way to discourage someone from entering your car? Keep it cluttered. My hubby's car is neat as a pin and the thieves get his every time and we have a He said the very site of my car makes a thief want to go down the straight and narrow. I'm sorry they hit you. hug

That really sucks, but be thankful you're not my sister....when she broke up with her boyfriend, he stole ALL her Prince cd's (she had about 20-25) and broke thme all in half and left them scattered all over her front yard for her to find when she came home. Even I was sick to my stomach when she told me, and they weren't even mine! broken
