If someone borrows your property, they are legally responsible to return it to you in the same condition. This is referenced in the legal principle of bailments. If they lose or damage the property, they are responsible for the value of the property to you. If the person refuses, you could file a small claims case against them for return of the market value. However, you should be prepared to prove that the item was loaned, not gifted in order to prevail.
