I have a situation and I was wondering if you all could help me out. There's this kid on my bus, real quiet, keeps to himself. He asked me to borrow some of my Gameboy games, and I let him, saying I wanted them the next day. Tommorrow? "I'm still playin' 'em." The next? Ditto. I pressured him to give it to me on Friday, but then he searched his pockets real quick (oldest thrick in the book >>) and said he accidentally left them in his locker. Then, on Monday, I asked him to go get them. On the ride home, he said he "lost" them, smirking quickly to his friend next to him like he was telling a bad lie. Now, I'm not very good at confrontations. I'm not sure how to get them back. And am I being too paranoid, thinking he's lying? I just dunno. Any thoughts?
And he owes me a dollar besides and I doubt I'll be getting that back either. o.o
Beat the sh*t outta him? I've seen your picture before...Jsut threaten to sit on him. If he rides your bus stalk him home. Any number of things.

i~i WHAT U MEEN BY DIS?
What? I'd love to weigh more than... >> << 110 pounds...
contact his parents, that should sort any problems.
i only lend games to my freinds because i know where they live.. plus i trust them. 
Then you could also not lend anyone else your stuff. Sure, people are gonna be like "Oh noez, you're mean, blah blah blah," but at least you won't have to worry about them not returning it when they said they would.
That's why I don't really lend items to people. 
See I never lend what I can't afford to lose. Were I lack enough to get into your situation the conversation would follow.
Rico(with a smirk): You're going to bring the games tomorrow, or else.
Thief: 'lse what?
Rico (with a smile): "'lse" someone's mommy will find out what a bad boy she has.
Thief: Going to tattle?
Rico: I'm gonna squeal like a pig. I'm gonna lay it on REAL thick too. To every adult you know. The pity will be soo thick that every adult you know is going you're a hell child. And you'll keep doing stuff to me, untill you end up in a military school. So just bring the games tomorrow, unless a coupla twenty buck games is worth your freedom.
Then keep your word.
Spoilers (Select To Read): If that diplomacy doesn't work, pay the school bully 10 bucks to target them until they give 'em back. But that idea never came from me.
~Rico (The anti-bully)
yeah
Why are you lending things to strangers in the first place?
EDIT: This post actually brought to you by Wonderbat.
How I ended up in UltimateShadow1337's account, I'll never know. Actually, he's at my house and stayed logged in, but whatever.
I agree with Rico, squeal on him. It's the best way in my general opinion. It usually works at that, as well.
But snitching is for snitches =(
I say you choke him for a minute and kick him in the balls. Do this untill you had enough fun to make up for the lost games.

Not if it involves your stuff.
I would reccomend AGAINST violence, as that leads to litigation...
On the other hand, if he smirks again, say something like "You know...I could have sworn fraud/theft was illegal...maybe I should let the police know."

Rico, tactful as always.
Not that I can say I disagree.
