What Started As A Quick Loan Turned Into A School Investigation Over A Pricey Math Tool
A missing device led OP to involve school staff for help.
It started as a quick math tool loan, then somehow turned into a school investigation, and OP is stuck watching the whole thing spiral. One minute it’s “just borrow it,” the next minute it’s accusations, deadlines, and people acting like this is no big deal.
OP says the teammate had plenty of chances to return the pricey math tool, but it never happened. OP confronted him, kept pushing, and still nothing. Now the teammate is on the hook to either return it or replace it, and the debate is no longer about a favor, it’s about whether the situation crosses into straight-up theft.
Now OP’s wondering if reporting it was the right move, or if it’s about to blow up in their face.

RedditOP’s confrontation with the teammate did not magically fix anything, it just made the missing math tool the main event.
OP was right to take action.

OP needs to tell their parents.

Also, it’s like the tablet slot-machine argument, where the husband played while his wife insisted it was “her thing”.
OP did the right thing by confronting him.

He had more than enough chances to give it back.

He is a thief.

The worst part is he supposedly had more than enough chances to give it back, and still didn’t.
Once the teammate failed to return or replace OP’s property, everyone stopped treating it like a misunderstanding.
That’s when the school investigation energy kicked in, and suddenly OP has to worry about how this lands with their parents too.
No one has held him accountable so far.

If you borrow something, you should return it.

OP has every right to report it stolen.

Nobody wants to be the person who “borrowed it for a while,” then disappears when it’s time to return it.
