OT - Neighbor borrows tools and doesn't bring back
 

Well yeah but what about a deposit...?

Sticking him with the 2 boat anchors is more of an insult than the borrowing
of the tools...

You never mentioned these facts. The solution is obvious. You will let
him
borrow any tool as long as he leaves one (or both) of the Harleys as a
deposit.

Problem solved.

Double pox. My wife's country church has something like five dusk to

to bring a flashlight at night when the building is unoccupied. But the
insurance company says each exit/entrance/hazard (as they perceive
hazard) must be illuminated all night.--

Dunno how that got away with any new text.

Anyhow, the insurance company may be more concerned about
defending against slip and fall lawsuits than about burglary or
vandalism.

Wow, it never ceases to amaze me the nerve that some people have.

I believe he bought his second hand air compressor just so he could borrow my air
tools.
He doesn't use it for anything else.
We had a conversation about how economical it would be for him to spray stain his
fence. When I didn't offer to loan him a sprayer he ended up doing it with a brush.
