What would you say in this case?
Edit: You have to mention it, or the "friend" will think he can borrow it again......
Why so serious?
I would never EVER loan out my stuff to anyone

I also can somewhat agree with that, but depending on what your relationship has been with that neighbor. What I would like to know is have you, and the neighbor been loaning each other things for years back, and forth? This would be the only reason I could see that you would have done this. The most I have ever lent, or allowed use of is maybe my jumper cables, or some hand tool, other than that my neighbors are out of luck. It is not that I am not neighborly, but that I have seen this type of thing go south before. I had some neighbors that had done that for years till something got broken, and then we would see the cops across the street frequently. As a kid I found it entertaining. So this is why I ask if that is the case. In which case I suggest you taper that habit off as soon, as possible.
