Thinking about what ToyAddict said... I actually have lost a collection. When I was younger I went to live with my Dad and never had the chance to get my stuff back from my mom's before she gave everything away or trashed it. I lost all MOTU, transformers old school G1, GI Joe, Insectors, Thundercats, Star Wars, DC collection, Ghostbusters, M.U.S.C.L.E. figures, Garbage pail kids cards, Inhumanoids, not to mention all of my horror posters, Atari 2600 and about 60 games, TMNT figures etc... But I managed to hang on to my Legos and ROTJ complete Jedi Luke loose

I hope the people she gave those things to gave them a good home. but they probably didn't.

I totally forgot. I think that is why I started collecting seriously after highschool with the re-release of starwars. Kind of trying to build my collection back, which I have done with a vengance.
Life does go on. But I totally agree, get pictures, art, home movies and personal trinkets before the rest since those things can't be replaced. And also, not that it helps now but it may help others in the future, always have a bad ass insurance policy AND flood insurance. Take pics of all of your collection and store them online and keep a list in excel as well.
