I made the mistake of letting a friend with a young child borrow Ikaruga on the Gamecube years ago to find when it was returned the disc had been used as a toy by the young one and ruined it. This of course led to an argument about paying for the game that was never resolved and never lent him anything ever again.
So, when people ask if they borrow a game I hate to be mean but I now request they agree if they break the game they have to buy me a new copy of it. Fortunately my current friends take care of games and never had an issue.
