The worst one I can think of is so heartbreaking for me - my grandmother was an avid quilter and when she got dementia my hoarder aunt took all of my grandmother's things and "stored" them. All of grandmother's completed quilts and work-in-progress got put into a leaky shed, mostly in paper bags or pillowcases. Rats and rain and mildew destroyed Everything except for one plastic tote full of wool squares (which I now have). Dozens of completed and irreplaceable quilts were completely destroyed. I cried when my cousin showed me photos, I couldn't help it.
