Tigres Pride Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Always ensure that when loaning items to anyone that you take the time and effort to deliver it to their address rather than have them pick up from yours. Then at least you will know where they live when it comes time for the return of the borrowed item.

PennyDreadful Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Jenny pink, it's wonderful that you lend things to strangers, please don't stop doing so! I know it's a horrible feeling to have your trust abused, but one bad experience doesn't outweigh lots of good ones (even though it may feel as if it does, at the time). In this instance, I think KidKruger is probably right that contacting forum admin is the way to go. Good luck.By the way, I've always thought that the old adage 'neither a borrower nor a lender be' is only half of a couplet that goes: 'Neither a borrower nor a lender be / Just be a miserable git like me'. Here's to NOT being miserable gits - here's to helping each other out - here's to you, jenny pink!

Grok Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 jenny pink Wrote:-------------------------------------------------------> wtf 'Grok'Quite simply it should be a case of once bitten.... However, all of these strangers are advising you to carry on risking your property which is a bit rich as they risk nothing.Carry on if you so choose as its a 'free' country but when you get mugged off again its probably best not to complain.

uncleglen Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I have loaned dvds books tools to people I know/knew and they have NEVER been returned without me having to ask or collect. It gives one a great excuse for totally ignoring them forever....
