It was about 2013.
I had a couple of hundreds worth of BTC & LTC. I used my GPU for mining (believe it was r9 280X?), and one day I came back from work and found all up in smoke.
PC was gone, hard disk deceased.
I had a PK printed out on paper, and I thought I was safe there. I was sorry for the PC, but glad that my apartment didn't catch on fire.
At a later date, with a new PC, I started to install all my shit, got to a wallet.
I went to the drawer where I held all my PC related crap and found out that my girl (now wife), has "cleaned" everything for me, after that terrible fire.
I was too furious to get in crypto until early 2017., but a lesson learned.
NEVER EVER have PK only in one physical place...
