Hm I have to disagree with ya on that but I am old school. The older generation usually accepts responsibility anytime we borrow, use, drive or operate someone else's anything.
If I borrow a neighbors shovel and brake the handle then I return the shovel with a new handle without ever saying anything. If I borrow a friends car and drive it in a lake then I take full responsibility in getting it back to the way it was asap and without hassle to them. I mean they didn't drive it in the lake but they did trust me to take care of it when I accepted the key's along with full responsibility of the property in my care.
Same goes on anything that isn't mine/yours. It doesn't matter if someone begs you to take their boat out on the lake for the weekend for some fun, if something goes wrong then it is in your hands. You don't just take it back broken and hand them the keys with a smile and a thank you. Once you take the property of any kind and operate it yourself then you are accepting full responsibility for said property.
Remember that's old school and the way a lot of us were raised. Once you accept said property then you accept all responsibilities of said property. It has always been like that for me so you will rarely ever see me driving any ones anything. I understand as soon as I accept care of someone else's junk it is all in my hands. When I do I am very careful, over cautious and pay really good attention to make sure nothing happens since it isn't mine.
I like Craig and have always gotten along with him way better than Thacker but once he took the key's he accepted full responsibility for the car IMO.
Like I said, it's just the way most of us old fuggers were raised. Just remember when you accept responsibility for someone else property they are trusting you to return it in the same condition as they lent it to you in.
Yeah I realize it was illegal but they both new that ahead of time and he still had someone else's property in his care so it is his to take care of. Being illegal does not relieve you of your responsibilities. Hell even criminals have a code of honor.
I know all the younger generation will argue that point but most of the elders will understand completely. And remember, it is just an opinion so every one's may be different. No need in arguing opinions cause no one will ever win.
