I think this proves that you should:
1) Never lend stuff out, to people you can't trust 100%, and/or
2) Never lend stuff out, and then forget to chase them up over it... vehemently!
I do lend DVD's to people, but I do have very strict rules about this. Namely:
1) You can only borrow for a set amount of time, defined between me and the person wanting to borrow it. After that, I will ask you if you've seen it all, and/or if you wish to borrow it for longer. If you don't, then I expect it to be returned within a reasonable time, usually 2 weeks on average.
2) Some titles are verbotten for loan from me, no matter what! Usually, the more valuable titles, the rarities, and the ones that can't be replaced, because they are deleted now.
3) Any DVD I lend you, will be returned in the exact same 100% perfect condition it is loaned to you in, and if not, I will a) ban you from borrowing any of my discs again, permanently, and b) not only will you replace the disc with the same identical version, but if that happens to cost you more than I originally paid for it, well, tough! You should have looked after it much more carefully in the first place!
Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind!
