Lost a Sharp graphical calculator back in the mid-90s. Expensive stuff back then. I think I know what happened though - left it in the school library, and it was gone by the time I went back looking for it and nobody handed it over.
if we're also talking about losing an arm or leg etc, then yes my right eye was removed in 1990 via surgery following numerous failed attempts to save it.
P.S. a couple of redundancies as well. 1st case was BT where they massly over-recruited and laid off half of us (about 100 out of 200)... on day 4!! 2nd case was a small computing firm that folded.
