like i say, I know i messed up, but if I'd been told I was liable from the start I'd have taken measures to secure the ladder. I don't lack common sense, just information.

I always lock up my ladders not only from them stolen but also to stop people gaining access to open windows.

This is not lending, it is a contractual arrangement for payment. As such it should have the terms of that arrangement explained and agreed.
The OP still hasn't stated whether or not he signed a written hire agreement - and if he did, what the T's & C's on it said about liability.
If he DIDN'T sign anything, the hire company could have an uphill struggle even proving that he hired the gear in the first place!

Most odd that another scaffolding company would nick a ladder I must say, they must have been bloody desperate for it.
