That is a very Diverse question. If you have a pen and you say someone else can borrow it then they never give it back you wait till the next day. If they still havn't given it back then you can press charges of course for they have stolen of you!
Another View:
Private citizens can NOT "press charges!" Only a prosecutor may "press" charges.
Even though you may have freely 'lent' them something, what this person has done is "wrongfully converted" your property to their own. You may file a criminal complaint with the police, and after investigation it does not rise to the level of a criminal matter (in other words, it is a 'civil law' matter), you can sue the person in small claims court.

if you leave something in an open locker you should expect that someone is going to take it. How can you say they stole it when they probably feel they found it. It wasn't like they took it out of your backpack or out of a locked locker.
