This thread would go a LOT smoother if everyone would just rub some Aloe Vera on their heads.

Late to this discussion but if I still had the rifle, I would let him get it back. On the other hand if it had bee long enough that I had gotten rid of it, I would tell him, sorry but you did not show up on time and I sold it. Then I would not worry about it either way. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

Around the same time a guy left his Mother in Law for collateral against the loan of a nice Tow Chain and He actually came back. After Talking to her for about two hours I'm not sure I would have.  The guy with the Rifle was between a rock and a hard place and the Rifle was the only thing he had of real value to be hocked. Although I would have liked to add a Krag to my collection I already had plenty of Rifles at the time. Including my own Great Grandfather's firearms. Turned out that this was the only Rifle he owned at the time so the story about it being his Grandfather's was more than likely true and I needed the cash back even more. I have been between a rock and a hard place myself and was always grateful to have someone trust me and help me out this way.

Maybe some of you think I was not right in the head for being a compassionate person and giving it back as I did but I had a legitimate excuse...This was before I discovered how beneficial it was to apply Aloe Vera to my head on public lands!

Being a little bit late is like being a little bit pregnant. Id charge him the going rate. That sounds fair..... No doubt the fair and right thing. Looks like we failed Bugouts morality test but I still say it would have become nothing more than a business transaction when he added the no call no show to the equation.... Apparently this happened at a place of business so there's no reason why he couldn't find the number and make a simple phone call when he realized he would be late..... "Doing the right thing" goes both ways....even for sanctimonious christians....

A guy comes into your place of business and explains his vehicle is out of gas and needs repairs for him continue his move across Country. He pulls out a very nice Vintage Krag that is in excellent shape.
He then asks if you are willing to hold it for thirty days against a loan of $300 dollars so he can repair his vehicle and finish his trip. He makes the promise "I will be back before 30 days is up" so you loan him the funds.
Thirty days go by and you are admiring and showing your new Firearm to close friends and Family. On the Fortieth day, 10 days late, the guy shows up and claims he got held up due to circumstances beyond his control but he has the money and would like the Gun back.
He goes on to explain how priceless it is to him because it was the very Firearm his Great Grandfather used while in Cuba fighting the Spanish American War. The Firearm is indeed period correct so he is more than likely telling the truth.
What would you do? If I believed the story, I'd give it back for the money. I'd be pretty pissed off, though. The guy should have offered more than the $300.00 back, considering the deal he made (and broke), also.

Assuming he wasn't a resident of your state, I'd call the ATF on both of you.
