OK, so I have the cam (and draw and biner). I don't want to be a jerk or hide from the issue. But I don't fancy returning it either.
I have a story too - it’s my birthday and I am climbing with my wife. She is fussing all day (its too hot, there are bugs, etc). And I just got done with her at the practice wall (which sucked), so then we are at bruise brothers wall where the booty in question is discovered. This booty made totally made my day, plus I have grown fond of it. I've placed it several times including on Strick 9 (outstanding climb). I consider it my own at this point.
I admire your ability to return booty, but I don’t see these circumstances warranting it. I think your friend would be well served by a $60 lesson in how to clean gear. Plus I consider myself to now be karma neutral having donated 2 cams (cheap ones luckily) to the booty gods.

I've been a gumby longer than you've been climbing.

...of taking booty jrodon's no fanDanny wrote:michaelarmand found a cam
he grabbed that thing and then he ran
in Afganastan he'd have no hand
but here he is a superman
while jrodon saves all he can
to buy ramen noodles and spam
but now he'll have to change his plan
cuz in the future should it be crossed
he'll take your booty and at your cost
buy the Ticket take the Ride
