I paid too much for my equipment to let someone else tear it up. Dad always taught me that if I needed to borrow something to buy it instead. Chances are I'll need it again.
We were in deer camp a couple years ago and I had just bought a new log splitter for my farm. One of the guys thought it would be ok to just help himself to my new splitter and told me he was going to use it. I said, "I want to get one thing straight and up front. I don't buy equipment to be used as community property". That shut it down right there and others in camp know where I stand.
