Sorry to hear that news...unfortunately some people just don't have any respect for other peoples possessions...wearing shoes on our carpets is generally enough to up-set me!

I lent someone my Playstation and a few games once...and when i got it back the thing was covered in dust and stains and the cds were all covered in fingerprints...never again...my dad always says 'never be a lender or borrower be'! 

I am sorry to hear about this Tim.

I'm not sure I would buy as much B&O as I do if I had to lock it away each time friends were staying with me!
In fact, having my B&O on display is one of the reasons why I buy the stuff because it is a thing of beauty and I very much enjoy the sight of my B&O.

I hope you are greeted with more respectful flat mates in the future, and I suppose you'll just be more cautious from now on, which is a shame that you have to worry about this kind of thing.

That is shocking! Apart from the fact that its B&O equipment, the items belonged to you and the way that they treated them is a total lack of consideration and respect for you. Might have also been a bit of a case of jealousy? There are no excuses though!

I regularly bring out my Beosound 1 for parties in my student flat. It's pretty much perfect for it and touch wood there have been no incidents.

Never had any issues with my B&O kit and friends, in fact it tends to be the cause of quite a few 'oooh's and 'aaah's when they see/hear it working. In fact I've had my band sleeping over in the same room last weekend, and they in fact seemed to want to talk about the system quite a lot...
