that's a capital crime! Out the b*stard so we can keep a watch for him and...well...teach him the manners his mother didn't. Actually I credit my Father for drilling in me the golden rule of tool borrowing: you return it in BETTER condition then when you borrowed it, if you can, but you sure as h*ll DO return it!
It was a guy I got to know from having met at a bike swap meet. He was getting into the hobby, I thought, but really seemed more like he was getting into flipping rather than saving and riding. Oh well, I don't judge. The problem is that he just disappeared...along with my tools. I'm left with a crappy frame of his and a couple empty spots in my tool box.
