This! If anyone ever wants to borrow something ask for something of equal or greater value as collateral. If they want to burden you with their needs it is your right to demand something in return. I've been ripped off before and will never lend anyone anything worth more than 100$ unless they give me collateral. If someone wants your truck, tell them to leave their car with keys with you and they get it back when the truck is back unharmed filled with gas. This might seem a little uptight but a lot of decent people are very irresponsible and if they can't handle giving collateral they should not be trusted with your stuff.
