I think you should return what is not yours without being asked to.
Not doing so is stealing.
Being a gear-head I always had a lot of tools, many of them Special Service Tools purchased from car manufacturers at great expense. My "friends" would borrow my tools and then never return them. It pissed me off that I had to "hunt" for them weeks later.
Had I not gone to retrieve them, would the tools then have become the property of my friends?
Maybe the point is moot because half of the time I did not get them back because they had become "lost".
After a few years of that I no longer lent out tools. Then I became the bad guy.
