Cliffs:

-found Blur 10 year Box Set (unopened) 5 years ago at Newbury Comics used for $80.
-bought it
-kept it in my "safe" place in my closet
-I move out, go to college.
-Cousin moves in
-Cousin finds my "safe" place in closet
-Went to go back and get said box set....
-find out it's not there
-I find a box full of my old stuff in a box and my 22 cd box set is just scattered in there.
-Found out that he ruined the "box/portfolio" it came in. He took everythign out to store his vcd's in it.
-He brought his new holder to a friend's house.
-His friend's dog eats it up.
-His response to the situation "but....the cd's are still there...it still the box set".
-Can't really yell at him because it is my fault for leaving it at my house when I moved.

Grrr....replacement is over $200:(

See, college is not the only place to get an education.

Why do you need the box? I have thrown out all of my cases for all of my discs. But then I have a 400 disc changer.

Box sets are usually collectors items with all sorts of pictures, etc.

Beat the shit out of him. He had to have known that it wasn't his stuff.

i would try to have as little contact as possible with someone with such disregard for personal space.

ps - you *can* yell at him. it was obviously not his and he had to know that before he did whatever he wanted with it.

What the fuck do you mean it's your fault????

It's his fault, make him replace the whole thing with exactly what you had expected to be there when you left it there. The fact that you left it in a closet when you moved shouldn't change the fact that it's your property and he shouldn't have touched it if he wasn't given permission or ready to replace it if something happened.

A box set without a box is more like just a set, isn't it? He fails at logic, amongst other things.

Are you one of those people that always blames yourself for other peoples problems? You're too nice, go see Dr. House.

Seriously, your cousin is a fricken moron. Get money from him or at the very least yell at him.

I think I'll come over to your place and rummage through your crap and steal and/or trash it. It won't be my fault, it will be yours for having stuff.
