I know it did with me...

My friend from LA sent their film to fotokem, and when he went to pick it up they told him his canisters were full of melted plastic and ash...

Nobody knows where the film is... 3 days of footage and cash... GONE.

*shudder*

I doubt he's bullshiting me, but if he is, it's a good horror story. He seemed seriously upset, though. Shit, that story makes both my head and wallet hurt, and I wasn't even working on it.
