Hello everybody . So like a 6 months ago my old "friend" begged me to lent my dh mtb to his friend, and I told it would be a good idea to strengthen our friendship. with some hesitation I lent it to them the next day. Shortly after 2 days they returned everything was fine, and than they begged me to lent them bike again because his friends bike was broken, and we decided to store it at my basement. Than 1,2 days after they took that broken bike out of basement and sold it. And then begged to lent my dh Bike again for 4 days, because "I don't need I'm not riding that much" well yes I was preparing for exams. I said like ok but not for more days, my parents didn't knew that I lent it. Than passed like 2,3 weeks of me literally begging them to return it, also my "old friend" was my classmate so I was questioning him every day, and he replied : it's not my problem you lent bike to him not to me. I can write even more in details what happend but it would be long if anyone interested in. After 3 weeks of me begging them they returned me it, transmission destroyed, and every bearing was with rusty water. As an excuse for what they did, they said that I abandoned my friend when we were 13 years old in the forest, and it was telling his friend who wasn't even at the moment it happend, basically imagine the start of small local forest near city where many people hanging out, and we left him in close to exit area waiting for him like literally a wide trail that goes only in one way, as result he walked out with bike only with some mud stains on shirt. And that was an excuse, ok but then they told that they found buyer for my cycle, but they will be selling it without me without my supervision because they told everybody that it's their cycle. I declined it and then they threatened me that they won't give back my tools that I lent them earlier. At this point I told my parents about it, and I got my tools back, and it's not the end of the story. It is too long.
what lessons did you learn?
