Approaching someone who hasn't returned my lens?

I'll bet she lied. In any event, you know what vehicle he drives? Time for some stalking, or at least a stake out. Or show up at 6:00 AM and wait outside until 8:00 AM, then knock on the door again.

- You contact him (phone, ideally) and say, "I'm going to come pick up my lens. What's a good time?" And you don't let him off the hook. Or let him change the subject. Or defer.
- You also prepare for the possibility that he sold something that wasn't his. And you decide from there whether he will remain a "friend", and whether you ever loan anyone anything ever again.
Sound advice right here. Answer to the back end of the question should be a big NO. Canon 5D Mark II | Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM | Canon 35L | Sigma 85 1.4 | Helios 44M-6 58mm(M42) | Zeiss 50mm 1.4 (C/Y) | Canon 135L | (2) 430EX II
