Man fed up with tool-hoarding neighbor “borrowing” and losing his equipment, so he asks to borrow his lawnmower and "forgets" to return the keys, neighbor never asks to borrow anything again: 'I left them with Jimmy. He said he’d mail them to you'

Losing is often just 'borrowing' with minimal care and consideration involved…Well at least that's how this man sees it! His neighbor's daily hobby seems to be walking on over to his side of the fence, requesting new items to borrow. Except his definition of borrowing has forgotten the part when one returns the items. So yes, as you'd expect, there are a lot of awkward morning 'hello, do you still have my screwdriver back there?'

I guess that's the price you pay when you know that your neighbor can't keep your tools safe, lending them to other people without your permission, yet you still lend it to them! It might just be showing them that you don't really care about whether or not they treat your belongings like precious gold, or some of Tuesday night's left-over Pad Thai…But that's a boundary for him to decide on…And the boundary he has chosen seems to be in the form of petty revenge…many people's go-to!
