It turned out that the boyfriend of the girl who was renting the room from us had sold the cables to a "friend" and thought I wouldn't notice. The rent that month was twice as much... and she moved out the next.

Ironically, I was strapped for cash, and so I could not afford to replace them with new Monster cables so I started experimenting with DIY cables and mom & pop brands. For better or worse, it was how I got started in this hobby...
No kidding? Man, I would have thought that I walked into a Twilight Zone episode. There are cameras on me right? This is a trick to see if I'll flip out and go postal?
Some people have more nerve than brains. Did you wait to calm down before you talked to them? Did you ever see the guy again?
