    Left at a computer at ex wife's house. I don't have access to it. She doesn't know they exist. I know for a fact that they are still there (hidden somewhere.) We're not on speaking terms. Amount is approximate, can be more.

O_o It might be worth sending a card or something.

You've basically found a collection of ghost stories. I'm 100% positive that 99% of those tales are made-up.

Yeah. I'm imagining the webhost looking at the IP and divorce records.

Whether the stories are made up or not, they sum up stupid things that people did to themselves.

Very unlike the approximately $10,000 or more, including lost growth potential, that my wife and I, as newlyweds, gave to some jackass "financial advisor" for a piece of garbage variable universal life insurance. The douchebag did an excellent job of marketing an investment product to us that lined his pockets with huge management fees and out of the ordinary insurance premiums. It was a few years later with more experience that we sent that dude packing.
