A few kits I put together years ago.

I thought I'd post this last photo because it's tragic, and a little bit funny at the same time. After they arrived from Los Angeles I carefully unboxed the models and placed them on the dining room table, figuring I'd look for a place to put them later on when I had time. We don't really use that table for much so I didn't think there'd be a problem. When I got home from work the next day they were gone, so I asked my wife where they went. She informed me that she'd put them all on some shelves out in the garage. The picture below is what I found, and there are a couple of other piles just like this. To be fair, these were all built long before we met and I haven't built a single model since then, so she has no idea how much time and effort went into their completion. When I saw this I was upset and frustrated, but I also had to laugh at the situation. I haven't moved or disturbed any of them since they were piled up like this. I figure the damage is done and moving them only risks more damage. Until I find a proper place for them they'll just stay like this. I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this kind of trouble with people that just don't seem to know any better? The story ACME SS tells above reminded me of this.
