Sometimes a guy wants to keep his empty speaker driver boxes, and sometimes the wife gets a wild hair to cut up a bunch of "trash."

Functionless Art is Merely Tolerated Vandalism
Yes, she did. She figured that since they were empty, they weren't needed.

Sorry to hear about that, only one thing left to do.

That's probably a bit extreme. I'll just "accidentally" put one of her delicates through the dryer and call it good.
Wait. This was the cardboard shipping carton? Dude, you can't keep that stuff forever. You have storage space for all the original packaging?
Now if she cut up your cabinets, call the lawyer.

Cardboard? That explains why it was valued at only one delicate. I too thought we were talking about the actual cabinet. That would have been worth "accidentally" running over her recip saw with her car, while the saw was running.
Hey, I resemble that remark. But I try not to let cardboard boxes stack up. I think they reproduce in the dark.

Clearly a sign of a marriage on the rocks...
My first thought though is "Are you insane, leaving evidence of your purchases lying about?"

Why would you need the boxes your drivers came in? You really think you'll need to send them back any time soon?
I sold an Eminence 3012HO here on TalkBass a while back, and it was good to have the original box for shipping. With guitar cabs, you can build a single 1x12 box and swap in a few different drivers until you find the perfect one. That's why I save the cardboard boxes, but I'm getting pretty well dialed in on what I want to keep now.
My ex wife kept boxes, along with everything else. When we divorced, I filled a 40 cubic yard dumpster with the stuff she left behind.

Yeah, let it go. It's just cardboard. Even if it was a particle board cabinet let it go. Best to be without that anyway...

Patiently Waiting For The Next British Invasion
I still have my shipping carton from four months ago I usually wait until the warranty time is just about up before I dump it.
I live in a condo, but I have dedicated storage space. I usually keep a couple bags of packing peanuts, and a bass sized box so i can pack and ship anything i sell asap. I also keep boxes for weirdly shaped items. Speaker boxes? No way, trash.
