OK, okay, I won't post any more threads in the lounge for a while after this, I promise. 
Limit OT if possible.
Between my dad's recent hospitalization and other things, I have had a lot of stressful situations going on in my life lately.
Recently, I went over to a friend's (Friend2) house for a little get together and left my DS lite with a few games and other things (totaling approximately $150) because my friend (Friend1) requested that I do so. This friend (Friend1) then left the house, forgetting the DS Lite and all along with a backpack full of my sleep-over necessities (toothbrush, shampoo, etc.) at my other friend's (Friend2) house.
After two weeks of texting Friend2, so many excuses have been made as to why I can't go over and get the DS. I wouldn't doubt by now he sold it to some crack head for $5.
What can I do in this situation? Friend1 is like a brother to me.

There really isn't much I can do other than try to scare him into giving me my DS back? Guess I should stop returning things people leave at my house. :|
Legally speaking, Friend1 would be on the hook for your items. You left them in Friend1's custody. So, it's his/her responsibility. It would only be Friend2's responsibility if you can prove that Friend2 stole the items. The mere fact that those items were at Friend2's house doesn't prove it either. You would need to show proof that Friend2 had the items and sold them (or still has them in his/her possession).
Because, Friend2 could easily state that someone else (even Friend1) stole the items. And, you couldn't prove otherwise.
