When you see him do you want to be saying to yourself, "He screwed me out of a thousand bucks," or "He tried to screw me out of a thousand bucks but I made him pay. I hope he learned his lesson."
I tend to agree with this. OK so as others have said, maybe D-Bag won't be taught a lesson, but that doesn't really matter. Why should the OP be the one to live with all of the regret/why should D-Bag get off scot-free. You can either reinforce this type of behavior by doing nothing, or you can put D-Bag on notice that you won't tolerate it/be a victim of it. He doesn't have to like you for it, but he'll have to respect you for not being a pushover.

I am firm believer that most people who look "well off" are often buried in credit card debt etc... I can guarantee you that a scum bag who would pull this **** is. Maybe that is your solice? Oh and if you aren't convinced about the credit card debt read the research in "The Millionaire Next Door"

I'll bet the OP didn't expect 14 pages to this thread - Obviously loaning out equipment is something people feel passionately about.

Outstanding!!

When I borrowed my friends 3130, I bent a step. I not only replaced it, but replaced the FEL control boot that his brother-in-law tore. The dang thing cost me $50!! I also performed his 200 hour service and he bought the parts. I like returning aything I borrow in BETTER condition if I can!!

Glad it turned out ok.


Lesson learned? never lend this lying, d-bag, even a screwdriver.

I hope your tractor is ok. Bendind the ROPS like that must have been a real shock load to the mount points.

I made a mistake of lending out my valby chipper to a neighbor, once........

Never again. He returned it with all the belts shredded. I dunnno how it happened, but the input shaft was twisted better than 60 degrees.....

I was pretty pissed. I took it back to his place and loaded it on his utility trailor. Told him to return it whan it was fixed. The repair bill was several hundred $$$.

I am real careful who I lend stuff to. Just a very few people.
