The Mystery of the Missing CaseLogic

Backstory: I lent my life's collection of CDs to my friend Doug. They were in a 15-lb CaseLogic. When I asked for them back, Doug INSISTED that he gave them back to me. I had given up hope... until I received the following gchat this morning:
Doug: i have a surprise for you
me: a surprise?
Doug: yes -- a surprise
me: what kind of surprise?
Doug: i found all of your CDs.
me: I KNEW IT!! I KNEW YOU HAD THEM!! You denied it for what, 3 years??
Doug: yeah, i know

Me: Yeah, it gets expensive.
