    Need advice, possibly legal advice

    I let a friend / coworker borrow my truck to go down to Miami for a funeral because his car is unreliable. That was friday, here we are on Thursday and I don't have my truck back. I talked to him yesterday he said they stayed longer than expected and he would be back to work today. Well he isn't here and nobody knows where he is. He wont answer his phone, won't answer text messages, nothing. I don't know what to do I'm getting worried. I don't want to report it stolen but I feel like I have no choice because I can't get this guy to answer his phone anymore. I've let him use it before to move and stuff and its never been an issue.

    the truck wasnt stolen it was borrowed with permission, and he was supposed to be back today but isnt and your already thinking about reporting it stolen and possibly having your friend arrested for grand theft, a million different things could have happend delaying him and he could have a dead phone and trying to get home, you said hes borrowed your truck before and you trust him enough to borrow it again but hes a little late and you want to report it stolen, if it were my friend i would wait and hope for the best

    I found his girls cell number in his office and he answered it. Said his was dead but come on he could of used his girls phone to call the office and ask for me. Still, something doesn't seem right.

    Does he know your number by memory and/or have it programmed into his girls phone?

    Perhaps that option simply didn't cross his mind.

    Agreed. Last summer, a guy I used to hang out with asked to borrow my car. I asked him what was wrong with his(GTO) and he said mine was faster. I told him to fk off.

    Never again. I will never do this again. Now its supposedly broke down and at a mechanics getting a fuel pump put in it. I asked him the name of the shop and googled it, turns out its there getting worked on as we speak. Guy said they will be done in an hour. Still just pisses me off. Im gonna be a wreck until I get it back.

    Well, here are a couple of things to consider. THe fuel pump would've went out, either way. The thing that sucks is that he didn't communicate worth a damn. That's really the only thing he did wrong.

    Yeah I know. Which is why I'm worried. If this was my 1500 dollar car I wouldn't give a damn, but this is my nice F150.

    sentence infraction......those 2 words aren't allowed by law to be in the same sentence.



    Just take this as a lesson learned. Never loan anything to anyone that you expect to get back the way you loaned it if you get it back at all.
