While the members of 419 often met up at 419 itself or cybercafes, it was different during the seasonal occurance of 'Uni holidays'. During such periods, fellow members would converge at Druggy's place, also known as 410 to go on PS2 adventures. We would take turns taking on games such as FFX and MGS2.
During one Uni Holiday season, Avatar had borrowed about 10 original games from a friend of his and the fellowship of 419 rejoiced. We would camp out at Druggy's place day and night, only returning home to shower before resuming our adventures.
One fateful day, Druggy, NiGHTs and I went out to KFC for lunch. On our return to 410, we noticed something was not right. The floor, which had been littered with PS2 games, was clean! Not to mention the PS2 was missing. We called the cops and they showed us how easy it was to open a locked door. :(
The worst thing was the games were all original so we had to pay back a lot of $$$$ and games. Druggy took it upon himself to bear half the burden while Avatar and I split up the other half.
However, our story does not end here. A few weeks later, Druggy had gotten himself another PS2 and Avatar and I were playing at 410. I think Druggy left early because he had some errands to do and we were suppose to meet up with fellow 419ers for SC. Avatar and I decided to take some precautions and put the PS2 under Druggy's bed before heading off.
The only problem was that after SC, we forgot to tell Druggy his PS2 was under his bed. When Druggy went home, he nearly had a heart attack thinking that his PS2 had been stolen a second time. I'm sure he must have been calling God all kinds of names.
At the same night, there was another break-in at the apartment building Druggy was staying and the police were knocking on doors. Druggy told the police that his PS2 was stolen again then did a police report.
Later that night, Druggy gave me a call to report his second break in and I told him his PS2 was under his bed. I do not remember whether he was relieved or pissed off. I'm sure he was calling me a bunch of names and the poor fella had to go to the police station the next day to file that the report was false.
To this day, Druggy has been accussing Avatar and I of intentionally 'hiding' his PS2 and not telling him about it. Avatar and I still maintain our innocence because we had merely forgotten to tell him about it. We are honest and honourable men who would never result to childish pranks. 'cough' 'cough' It was only bad luck that the police knocked on his door and he made the report. If not, he would have called us and found out where his PS2 was.
