What's the most expensive item you've put in the rubbish?

Mate gave me 30 bitcoins on a usb for my 30th birthday as a joke back in 2016. Gave him a clip round the ear and called him a scamp. Formatted the memory stick and used it to store old episodes of midsummer murder lol

it's good to see you've got a better hobby now.

A few years ago, my girlfriend at the time had a rather expensive, and important, dress delivered (~£500 worth), it came via Yodel. The driver thought it a good idea to dump the dress in the wheelie bin, push a card through the door and then watch as the bin men emptied said wheelie bin into the bin lorry.

In 2016? BTC was still extremely valuable back then, unless your "Mate" has a propensity for insane acts of kindness, and you even greater acts of stupidity, then I don't believe it. BTC was still 5-800 a coin back the.
At least make it believable by saying Feb 2013 :rolleyes:

When was your 30th?

So, I have set myself the goal of retiring with a pension pot of £1,000,000 (currently 35 years old assuming retire at 67)... No real reason for such an arbitary number but I come from a humble background and obviously 7 figures is quite a big deal so why not? (much less so when i retire, I know!).

Dreamcast was an awesome console, especially loved the triggers for driving games. Ferrari challenge was great on that, give it to charity a local hospital will have tons of bored kids nil by mouth wanting that kind of thing.

I spent BTC in 2016 to buy PC stuff, can confirm oppsie but also I used some btc with OCUK back in 2014 think it was and my change I left and forget ended up being worth more then I ever spent so was lucky coinbase didnt blow up meanwhile and also ocuk had the system that wanted me to use them I guess.

NOt exactly in the rubbish away but most expensive thing relatively I threw away by accident was a weeks wages, when i was very young i pulled the notes out my pocket while getting on a bike. Realised half an hour later and retraced my steps, on a windyish day it was sitting on the pavement not moved from where I got on the bike minor miracle.

Heres the worst case I ever read super tragic

Some absolute **** took it home. I would have [and have, in the past] handed money I found in [once I ran after a guy who had left a wodge of notes in a cash machine, another time I found a wallet with £120 cash in and handed it in to the police]. I don't think I could live with myself if I found £80k in cash and kept it.

Story creams BS. If he wasn't a "poor 68 year old pensioner" the world would have a different view and call out just how unbelievable stupid he was. Firstly, to expect £88k to see him through retirement, secondly, to keep it in his car, thirdly, to put it on his roof :rolleyes:

Just because they're old doesn't mean they deserve sympathy.

Edit: The person who took it is still a crook though.
