Dont loan out your tools

yes, exactly....that kinda surprised me when he said I had to go get it myself if I want it back.

I had to hide a ton of fear approaching an unknown house and asking a guy I don't know to give my stuff back. I don't really think he took me serious.

How am I going to argue or intimidate a guy who has probably a foot and a half and about 100 pounds on me.

I somewhat regret not trying to take a better stand but I am not sure it would have been worth 150. bucks

Besides What would Jesus do ....he will get his someday, I am blessed that I can afford to get on fleabay and buy a new one anyways.

I just started the thread to remind the fabo family this happens so be careful. At the end of the day, it's just material items that wont mean much when you are hanging out with Mr. Jesus Sir. IMO It's just shame it has to be like this

It is not your responsibility. You did not loan the tool to the Creep, you loaned it to your "buddy". It is his responsibility to return the tool you loaned him. $150 is cheap to find out your "buddy" is just using you and is a thief. Treat him accordingly. As for you going to the Creeps house, you should never put yourself or anyone else at risk. It is never worth it. Safety first, always.
