Have you ever regretted lending something?

Have you ever regretted lending something?

 

Yes my car once..
It was written off by my stupid brother in law.

 

Yes a rare vinyl album to a girl friend friend .

She moved away and lost touch

 

I am to the point I never lend anything. If you get it back, you are going to have to go get it. They won't bring it back. It was enough trouble (for them) going after it, in the first place.

 

I lent out the electric guitar I had built as a student when I went to Luthiery School... Never did see it again.

 

I am happy to lend my ears to anyone. X

 

Money

 

out of print books i never got back.
although that's kind of understandable in one case
as it was more of their being taken then intending to lend
and the person wasn't allowed to come back,
having made themselves persona non grata anywhere near where i lived.
not just to me but to half the people who lived there who had lent cell phones and the use of their bathrooms.

 

in any case, out of print books and periodicals, are the jewels i most regret ever "lending" (though as many have been lost by having to leave behind)
