His daughter borrowed an iPod and didn't return it to the owner. While she has possession of borrowed property she is expected to exercise due care of that property. Leaving it on a desk and walking away from it when the owner of the item is out of the room is not due care and does not constitute a return of the borrowed item. Their daughter lost her first iPod and the father said she learned her lesson. Then she lost Shannon's iPod and he said she learned a lesson. He then buys her another more expensive iPod. What lesson has she learned? That she can be completely irresponsible and daddy will bail her out? Instead of paying the $200 originally asked (they hung up on us) it went to court. We never thought it would have to go this far, but we had no other recourse. Eick said he doesn't know what the big deal is and that we should just buy Shannon a new one because they are not that expensive. Meanwhile we are teaching Shannon to do what's right while he is paying out what is probably hundreds of dollars to an attorney to avoid having her daughter take any responsibility.
