Today, I let a friend borrow a power saw. When I found it on my porch later, the blade was missing and the cord was cut. Looking closer, I realized it was his saw. He kept my new one. He totally denies that he switched them and now won't answer his door. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got my laptop back after lending it to my friend. It wouldn't boot, and after investigating I found out it'd been stripped of its hard drive and all its memory. When I confronted my "friend", he accused me of lying and trying to ruin his reputation. FML
Today, my neighbor came over to borrow my lawnmower. As I have previously loaned it to him and he returned it broken, I refused. He then promptly ate the strawberries off my daughter's small strawberry plant and stormed off. FML
Today, I came home to find that my roommate had picked my lock and stolen my new laptop. When I tried to take it back, he called the police. They sided with him since he had also taken the receipt, which was "proof" that it was his. FML
Today, my "friend" came over. I caught him trying to steal my iPod on the way out. Proud of myself for catching him, I asked him to leave, only to realize that I had forgotten to actually take the iPod back from him before he left. FML
Today, my brother "borrowed" my car and keys without asking me. He came back 4 hours later, alone and pale faced. It took half an hour of questions, interrogation, and finally threats before he admitted that my car is sitting in a ditch a few miles away, probably totaled. FML
Today, I met my neighbor. When she saw me cutting down trees on my lot, she interrogated me and called the police because she didn't believe I owned the property. She didn't call the cops when she watched someone steal a cord of wood from my property two days ago. FML
Today, I was helping a friend move. Before we arrived, he put his key on my key ring to keep it safe. When we got there, he promptly shoved my front door key into the lock and snapped it clean off. Not only can we not get into his house, but now I can't get back into mine. FML
Today, my sister asked to use my blow dryer, so I gave her the keys to my apartment. When I came home from work, half my clothes were missing. FML
Today, I watched one of my neighbor's trees fall into the electrical lines outside my house. This was after he took a chainsaw to the tree. He refuses to cover the damages. FML
Today, I was walking to the store when I ran into one of my friends. He said he heard about my bike being stolen the day before, and that whoever took it was a heartless dick. I hadn't told anyone about the theft. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Where I come from, people who do things like that are called douchebags, not friends.

Makes no difference if he switched them, you loaned your friend a good working saw he has to return a good working saw. As a last resort you could try to involve the police for theft but I would first try peer pressure and involve his parents

If it new it may have a serial number on it. Call the police get the saw back and let him spend a few months in jail

"Neither a borrower nor a lender be" - pretty sad that you had to learn this proverb in this fashion. Wipe his shitty ass saw down nice and pretty, put on a pair pf gloves so you leave no prints, then return his saw by throwing it through his living room window. When the police come to investigate, youhave no idea how his saw wound up in his living room, but you can show then your shiny new saw. Hopefully you kept the receipt. Look at it this way, your asshat neighbor has ruined any chance that you'll ever be friends, so just bring things full circle.

At least you know who's not a friend. Call the police. And as someone said earlier you lent him a working saw and he returned a broken one. Tell him you can either give you a brand new saw or your original. If he does nothing be relentlessly annoying.

Kick his door down and get it back the old fashioned way

Hello Police... I'd like to file a complaint about my neighbor. Can you send an officer out to my home. Thank you!

Exactly. And if you have the owners manual and put the serial number in it like I do, all the police have to do is compare the serial numbers and the OP get his back, and his asshole friend get a charge of theft.

Sadly things like this are why I never lend stuff out anymore. I've had too many things never returned or returned in bad shape. See if you can file a complaint about this guy, he's obviously not a good friend.
