Maybe if you tape a photo or two of your returned broken tools in the top of your toolbox labeled "Hall of Shame" it might be a deterrent to people borrowing or the tools being returned in poor shape. Take a photo of an empty table, empty tool slot in the toolbox, or the bare ground and label it "The ones that didn't come back at all" and maybe list them at the bottom of the pic. Maybe it would help others know and understand why you don't loan tools or help them to comprehend that you really do value the tools that help you earn your living...
