    Default Roommate Lost Laptop I Sold Him and Won't Pay - What Now

    My question involves personal property located in the State of: Illinois

    Hey guys, first time poster and i gotta say this is a cool site.

    I lent my macbook to a friend of mine in november (don't ask) and said he could have for the rest of the semester (i'm in college). I found out from him that he lost it on Dec 16 or so. I have asked him to reimburse me about once a week ever since. I am usually not too firm since he is a friend but I am worried that I better act soon if I want to see the money.

    What is my best course of action here, guys (and gals)?

    if he won't pay you for the depreciated value of the used computer, sue him in small claims court.

    I believe the applicable statute of limitations is 5 years but why wait?
