Luckily I kept my "best of the best" collection separate, as that's all I was able to keep. I'm still playing catch-up, still re-buying albums.
I also lost my entire SY collection once in a separate incident. That stung.

It does suck, but in the end it's only things and almost everything can be replaced. It was also kind of freeing, losing almost everything I owned. It just really sucked that I didn't have a place for a few weeks and that I have to live rather far out of the center of town now. But it's cheap and I can use the money. So that's that.
I do get sad every now and then when I think "OH, I should put on record XY!" and realize that I don't have it anymore. But that's what spotify is for, I guess...
My Sonic Youth collection is basically non-existent anymore. Have some records, was able to save my Psychic Hearts Vinyl.. but all the shirts, the rare trinkets, VHS', cassettes,... gone.
BUT! it could be worse.

I only cried, like, 3 times after it happened. Life goes on and now I don't have so much stuff to carry whenever I decide to move houses again. My friends are really lazy haha

I don't think I *really* miss any of my records. Every now and then when I get into the mood to listen to a certain band and won't stop listening to them for a few days/weeks I sometimes think "Oh man, I used to own the record" and get sad. Most of the time, if the bank account allows for it, I just go out and get the record and the problem is solved. Right now I have this with Sweater-Kinney, which is why I bought the two albums this week. But there is still a lot missing.
But it's okay. I have to learn to be patient, for now I have all the SK music files saved on my phone and listen to them on heavy rotation. Such a great band, makes me wanna jump around and do stuff!
