Not Sure What To Do

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.

The most depressing part about this is that the DS was an old birthday gift from my dad. He's in the hospital right now and it's not looking good at all... so if I go missing a few days y'all will know why.
Hope to be back with good news..

If you leave something at someone's house, it means it's legally theirs for the taking/selling/sodomizing?
Document that he said he'd bring it by when you confronted him at work about it. If you know other dates and times that you contacted him and spoke about it write those down as well. Did you happen to have a friend or was anyone around when he said he'd bring it by?
I could have an officer accompany you over to the residence to attempt to retrieve the property. The officer cannot get involved in any forceful situation, i.e. "making" the other party return your property.
However, the mere presence of an officer can prompt most individuals into doing the right thing. If it is not successful, the officer can take a theft report and submit to City Court or County Court, depending upon the dollar amount of the property.
Let me know your schedule, what day and time would be best, and I will try and make arrangements to assist you.
