So Tuesday night I went to Magic/Gaming night as usual. When I got home, I decided to leave my cards in my car, because it was drizzling and I was tired.
Someone took them from my car overnight. All of them. My EDH Cube, Vintage, 2 Legacy lists, 2 Modern lists, 3 casual decks, all of my auxiliary EDH cards, everything. I always lock my car, but they didn't appear to force entry, so it must have gotten unlocked by me sitting on my key or something. Nothing else was taken (including an iPod).
I realized this the next day, freaked out, searched everywhere, contacted all of the LGSs who deal in singles to be on the lookout, etc. Barely slept.
Get a post on the neighborhood website that they'd be found under the bridge underpass on the footpath behind my house. Expect the worst, cards dumped into a puddle when the thief realized they were "worthless". Get to the Community Center where they're being held this morning, and everything appears to be there and undamaged.
So apparently I'm so unlucky that the one night I leave my stuff in the car is the same night that I accidentally unlock it AND the same night that someone decides to go through it AND they only take exactly all of my cards (there was a backpack and a briefcase).
But I'm also so lucky that the thief gets a block away, checks what he's boosted, has no idea what it's worth and just leaves it there, and someone else finds it and turns it in fast enough that no damage is done.
Excuse me while I go have eight heart attacks.

Congrats on being both the unluckiest and luckiest person on earth for a day. My own new philosophy is never leave anything of value in a car for any span of time.

I have officially moved to MTGNexus. I just wanted to let people know as my response time to salvation decks being bumped is very hit or miss.
I learned that lesson the hard way. I went to DC for a concert on night, got home past 1am, and was so tired I left my brand new iPhone in the car. Woke up at 5:30 to go to work. When I went out to my car at 6am, the driver window was busted, phone and GPS had been stolen. I live in a private community, which means that someone had taken the effort to go checking our cars, not some random person walking down the street.
So wildfire you have the biggest horseshoe up your ass. But much like me, I bet you don't make that mistake again.
The funny part is, I've left actual laptops in the car for literal weeks on end before, and I've had a dozen board games taking up my backseat for like two months. And I've got an iPod that lives in the car.
But yeah, cards are staying in the house from now on, and living in the trunk when I'm bringing them out.

So it was stolen and you got it ALL back unscathed?

Yeah. Best I can tell everything is there. It doesn't even look like someone went through any of it. And surprisingly there doesn't appear to be any water that got in either.

Is the site glitching hard for other people today. I open a page, it flickers to the bottom, the top, back to the bottom, and then eventually stops. On my iPad it also auto-redirects to the app store all quite a bit. If I cared more I would post an official thing in the right place but I sort of assume that it's just on my end.

Yeah. I'm still pretty badly shaken by the whole thing, but at least there's no permanent harm. Oh, and I owe a homeowner's association employee (the guy who found them) some peanut butter cookies.
I had some weird behavior on mobile this morning. I'll ping the powers that be.

In other news: I bought a set of shocklands a few months ago thinking I would build another 5 color deck.
I didn't.
What are the chances they might finally trot out 4 color generals in this year's Commander product?
