My friend stole from me, but i let it slide

My best friend recently stole from me, but I didn’t follow up on it to maintain the friendship. I own a classic JZX100 chaser which originally comes with a 1JZ engine and I swapped it with a 2JZ.

During my vacation, I parked it in my friend’s workshop. I was away for 2 weeks overseas and I paid him to do a full interior reconditioning while I was away. When I came home, I noticed something felt different. When I popped the hood, my 2JZ was gone and in its place there was a 1JZ. I asked my friend where my 2JZ is and he said “Maan, that car comes with a 1JZ, you must be mistaken”.

No, I’m not as I swapped the engine myself, but I just brushed it off to maintain the friendship. What would you had done? It sucks as my 2JZ was tuned to 1100 bhp, but he’s my best friend, I guess friendship matters more…

    "What would you had done?"

    I'd attempt to get my stuff back and then never talk to that person again. If I let a theft slide once, they're just going to steal from me again because they'd think I'm a gullible idiot. That's probably what your friend thinks of you now.

    Do not trust him in future again. People are repeat offenders. You can let it slide, but he isnt your friend anymore. Keep him at a distance.

      Agreed with this completely! He got away with it once, he will absolutely do it again (and like you said, people are repeat offenders; they don't change unless they decide to, which is rarely). Not to mention friends don't steal from their friends.

    Friendship goes two-ways and this guy isn't behaving like a friend. Get him to return the 2JZ and don't associate with him anymore

    Noooo this is the problem I ran into. Drop him as a friend now. One of my biggest regrets in life is staying friends with ppl who stole from me. They will steal anything. He will steal your cancer meds on your deathbed. Dont trust him. He will always ditch you too if something better is going on.

    Your "friend" values an object more than friendship and trust
