So 2 weekends ago I left my Wii in my friends' apartment so that they could play it. This weekend I come back and I notice it's missing. Two of them are gone for the weekend and the other two don't know what happened to it. I called up the other two and they don't know what happened to it. We checked the whole apartment except for one bedroom and didn't find it. We think it mightve been stolen but it's kind of interesting since there was a box loaded with DVDs next to it and a compact DVD player and neither of those got taken. So I am at a loss of what to do, any ideas? I should probably file a stolen item report from the police I'm guessing?
Ugh this sucks so bad, I wanted to go buy SSBM and 2 controllers and play with my buddies since I have had a craving to do so for awhile now. Bleh.
I highly doubt it, these have been my friends since highschool so they arent shady or anything. I also know its not a practical joke because I was flipping out at them
Did they accidentally leave the apartment door unlocked? Did they recently have a party? Do they move things around and forget where they put them? Do they invite their friends (ie people that you might not know or trust) over to play the Wii without you knowing?
All of the above describe some of my friends, and I've seen very nice things get lost or stolen due to any of the above.

They are laughing at you right now. I'm sure.
My friends do this shit to me all the time.
You need to get yourself some new friends. That shit ain't cool.
Threaten to cut their balls off if they do not buy you a Wii. Also: Sounds like you need new friends.

edit: Also if you have any inclination at all that this might be a practical joke. Just tell them you got the police involved and that the police should be stopping by their their place to take statements from them. That should clear up any practical jokes real fucking quick. And its a good first step before you actually call the police.

im guessing his birthday is coming up, so his friends shipped the wii off to paris hilton in jail so she could bling it out for a carton of smokes as a birthday present.

Ok, what you need to do is kill one of them (preferably the one you like the least). Serve him to your other friends as chili. When everyone's eaten, and someone wonders idly where the guy you killed is, say, "You're eating him right now. Where's my Wii?" I'm absolutely positive this will get you your Wii back quickly.

At my local Virgin Megatore on thursday last week they had a guy in the window as i was walking past writing in board market on a big pad 'WE HAVE WIIS IN STOCK. ONLY 5 LEFT'
and as we was finishing writing underneath the price, some guy called over to him, all this mind you still in the space of time it took me to walk past the window, and he tore the paper down because they had sold out.
It just completely boggles my mind that they were so irresponsible they didn't notice a friends fairly expensive (well, over 100$ ain't cheap) piece of electronics just [SIZE=-1]disappeared [/SIZE] . Hell everyone I know (myself included) treats anything borrowed like it its made of million dollar bills and irreplaceable

Hell yeah. I take better care of stuff borrowed from a friend then I do with my own things.

Sounds like your gonna be camping out with the Targetieers .... Well where every it is... I'm sure someones having fun with it
. . .
God damn, man.
I think he's saying he will be camping out for a new Wii in front of the store Target, and then goes into a new thought separated only by "...", saying that someone is having fun with the "lost" wii, wherever it is.

Yeah, I know I'm just piling wood on the fire at this point, but given the description, you just need new friends. This time it was your Wii, next time it's your car, your job, your girlfriend/wife, whatever. They don't care and it cost you a Wii. Even if you don't get it back, accept that it was the cost of finding out what chucklefucks these guys are.

It's a bad idea to let anyone borrow your girlfriend/wife.

I've witnessed at least 3 situations where some guy was going out with a new girl (and in one case, it was even a long relationship), and a "friend" or roommate wound up with the girl after a period of time. In the case of the long relationship, it was even calculated and very unfair to the guy in question.
I've had 'friends' lose my stuff after letting them borrow it and I know for a fact they either stole it or sold it. They couldn't even muster up false sympathy, which is the least you could expect from a real friend.
But I don't even know if this was an inside job and it would be tough for cops to prove anything. Are there any Wii games or accessories missing that weren't in an obvious location? Any new people coming over? Are your friends going out together without you more often now? Is someone throwing around a lot of cash? Do they sound guilty or annoyed when you keep bringing it up? Did they ask you if you wanted to sell it beforehand?

If this wasn't a break-in (and let's face it, if nothing else in the apartment was stolen, it wasn't a break-in), then one or more of your friends either stole it or they are playing a trick on you.
Seriously, I would threaten them with calling the police, and if no one confesses, follow through on it. Don't let them get away with this or they will do it to you again. I know you think you know these guys and everything, but sometimes the people closest to you are the ones who hurt you the most.
I know they didn't take it, in the past 2-6 years Ive known them they havent taken or stolen from eachother or me, and besides, they werent all that interested in the Wii in the first place. They are all too busy with battlefield 2142/ Oblivion really to pay much attention to it. They didn't even notice it was gone until I came up this weekend. They did say one weekend they went out to eat and forgot to lock the door. My suspicions are either with the girls that live in the apartment next to them or maybe someone just noticed the Wii sitting there and took it quickly. It is still selling out in stores so maybe someone thought they could grab it real fast and go. I don't know, it's really a wierd situation.

Who has the key to their place, besides them?
Either way, they owe you a Wii because they lost it. Make them camp out.
The harder the rain, honey, the sweeter the sun.
... right on the $$$ except I'm not going to be camping out, I said it sounds like the OP will be, that is, if he wants one ....
They MUST buy you a new wii.
that's not optional.
It's quite realistic.
It's a bad idea to let anyone borrow your girlfriend/wife.
Yeah, last time I let someone do that, there was all this... stuff left on the backseat.
Anyway: ouch. Make those bastards pay. Bastards.

If it's one of your friends stealing/playing a joke then either scenario they are dicks and deserve a little heat.
