When i gradi-ated high school and headed off to engineering school, my father gave me his drafting set he used in college. It was really something special, made in the 40's and everything was swiss watch quality. Black leather box with felt lining, and it was full of sentimental value.
It meant a great deal to him giving me that set, it made me really nervous.
Two semesters later i had it locked up in my desk locker in drafting class, and someone broke it and stole it. Evidently someone had saw it and wanted it as that was the only drawer/locker that was broken into. I still suspect the professor did it.
I was sick, my father didn't make a fuss but I could tell he was seriously disapointed.
In hindsight I wish I had stuck it in a safe deposit box and never touched it.
