Guys who stole my 'boom box' in the late 80's


You know who you are! Ahh, I remember it well, that autumn day in 1988. My friends and I were headed from school (Catholic grade school, nonetheless) to baseball practice at Aptos Field. Apparently, we wandered onto the literal wrong side of the (MUNI) tracks. There you all were. You crossed the street, intimidated my friends, I saw them receeding, those damn nancy-boy sissies, damn our Catholic other-cheek-turning upbringing. You advanced like an otter stalking its prey. "That's nice, can I see it" you said. "No", said I, resolute in my desire to be able to keep my ghetto blaster. I might want to blast "A Shoulder to Cry On" or anything from BelBivDeVoe in the future. But, you persisted and your friend - the one who apparently was a Joe Pesci in training, the lil' midget - sneered, replying that I better give it up, or his friend would "kick (my) ass". Seeing my punked friends crying and repeatedly making sign-of-the-cross motions, I finally acquiesced, bitterly. Just like it was yesterday, or at least the mid-'90's, I gave an internal guffaw of joy when I saw the speakers come crashing off the base as you crossed the street. "That'll show 'em", I thought. I was shaken. I had messed my pants. But, it's not like I think about it every day of my broken life or anything. So, where are you? Answer if you dare. Hahaha, the last laugh is mine. Byee all!

Glad he's over it!

ROFLAMAO!!!

If you read it closely...you'll notice he said "...the speakers fell off the base..."

See! All you component haters now know the secret we component boomers always knew...

That if you try and steal our boomers and we come up on the short end...we have a secret self destruct mechanism!

"By gosh! If we can't have it then you damn sure ain't gonna want that sumbitch after the speakers fly off or the cassette falls off or it all falls apart to te ground!!!"

I was a pretty mean little kid, but I was (still am) small, so I got pushed around a lot. And, being from an Armenian-Irish family, I tend to hold grudges. There's a good chance that if it happened to me, I would have burned the puke's house down.
I remember a neighborhood kid stole my brother's bike. We got the bike back and then handled him accordingly. I guarantee he never stole another bike again.

Who steals a 3 piece boombox? Not to be a stickler but Bell Biv Devoe's first album was released in 1990 and he wrote the boombox was stolen in 1998?

Bro, there are some sick 3-piecers...just thinking of fisher 490 series, telefunken 1M, Bombeat WX-1... in fact isn't that a 3-piecer in the middle of your avatar stack?

That middle box is not a 3-pc, that is a Conion C-126

My Parker 45 and Parker Pens was stolen back in the late sixties!

Damn thought I had him.

Damn thought I had him.

I actually have 3 piece boxes, in fact the 2 best sounding boxes I own, imho, are the Telefunken Studio 1M and the Panasonic 6400 but..... I'm a purist and like my boxes self contained. Most of the 3 piece boxes were designed for a dual purpose, portable radio and book shelf stereo unit. So in summary .......
