Thats horrible...
but listen to this. My friend went on an internship to Japan last year. He bought BOXES worth of ayu stuff that he found. I mean boxes right, big ones.
So he had to ship them over here on a boat...
well....there was an "accident" on the boat at sometime. The boxes got to him nearly destroyed, with a bunch of stuff that was "lost".
I wonder what happened to them.
I really hope your USB turns up. You have no idea how pissed I would be if that happened to me.
