Towards the end of 8th grade I lent some guy my Kid Chameleon. The next time I saw it, it was sitting on a shelf inside a new/used videogame store. I recognized it was in fact my game because of markings on the case. I'm still bitter about that to this day.

Reminds me of a guy I knew in high school who used to ask to "borrow" games from people. I hardly knew the guy, so I already knew it was a bit shady when he was asking to borrow N64 games from me. I usually just made up some BS excuse. I found out later that he did the exact same thing with others' games that that guy did with your Kid Chameleon.
I do have a story where I did an exchange borrowing with a friend in middle school. My Shining Force 2 for his Shining in the Darkness (not the best borrowing deal, I know), and it took FOREVER for him to get it back to me. He kept "forgetting" and one time when I went to meet him at his locker after the final bell rang, I swear he ran and vanished in the crowd of people in the hall cause he knew what I wanted, and didn't have it to give back to me.
Well I did finally get it back, but he threw away the original packaging (the cardboard "case") in exchange for a generic, yet sturdier hard shell case that most Genesis games used. It kinda irked me that he did that without asking me. But at that point I was just happy to have the game back.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
