" My sister and her family borrowed our ski equipment for their Vermont vacation. We were happy to lend it \u2014 but they returned everything in less-than-great shape. Should I say anything? Definitely. The number one rule of lending is this: If an item comes back damaged, the borrower should replace or repair it. Point out your concerns, making it clear that she should cover the cost: &amp;quot;Sara, I noticed the bindings on my skis came loose \u2014 would you mind getting them fixed?&amp;quot; If you&amp;#039;re annoyed about dealing with all this, think twice about loaning your things again.
