You know .... whenever people give me the stink eye because I said I loaned out something that was valuable to someone ... I ask them if they have children. In my age range most people do.
So, then I ask them if they ever had a baby sitter for their child. Again, most people say yes. So, my next question is how they could possibly entrust something as irreplaceable as one of their children with another person? At least the thing I am placing in the trust of another is something that only costs me money to replace.
In the end ... it's all just "stuff" .... either you think enough of your friends to let them borrow your stuff, or you don't. The second your stuff owns you, and not the other way around, you are in a load of trouble.
