Sorry to here you lost your plane, hopefully you find it and it in good shape.
I understand you feeling bummed , but I would`nt be sore at your friend. Remember, you could of said no. and if he was just learning to fly, probably did`nt have a clue about what was going on. But it`s still a bummer.

Murphy shows up for all of us sooner or later. If he has left you alone for 2 years , that's a pretty good run in this hobby. lol But now that Murphys found you, you`ll need to double check every thing, and sometimes that's not good enough.
Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
