In my younger years I've borrowed stuff and had mishaps or breakdowns that weren't my fault, but I had no $$ to fix the problems which was why I was borrowing in the first place. I always tried to make it right and usually did. These days I RENT things from people with the understanding that I'm renting it as is and if something breaks I'll pay for if it's MY fault. Bad tires, bearings, stuff falling off, obviously long term issues- nope, not my problem.
Little story that works along these lines. 35 years back I bought a house. The owner had a Gravely tractor I wanted and we made a deal based on his claim there was a brand new in the box jug and piston in the shed with the tractor. This thing had about no compression and a cracked jug. The parts were no where to found and he got mad when I pointed this out and that was the last I heard about it. Years and years later, 150 miles away I'm having breakfast and talking to the guy next to me. Turns out he's the cousin of the guy I bought the house from. We get visiting and in the process the Gravely gets mentioned. He gets this look on his face and describes the machine to a tee. Turns out it was HIS Gravely that his cousin "borrowed with an agreement to buy", never paid him for and had no permission to sell! What goes around comes around I suppose.
