man, i'd be fuckin pissed if i found out people let my pipe change hands that many times. then again, i'd never loan out my first pipe.

he's definately not gonna hurt u if he's an old hippie, but i can understand the sentimental aspect of the first pipe and u should make every effort to find it. moving is a pain in the ass. when u unpack everything i'm sure u'll find it. good luck.
