I would speak to him where he works and give him one last chance to give it back. If he doesnt agree tell him you are going to the police.

My son had this exact problem. He gave it to a friend, who then moved 300 miles without telling him. It took 6 months of asking, and all he got was every excuse under the sun. In the end I emailed him and said that if he didnt return it within a week then I was contacting the police. He posted it straight back, and after all that it wasnt even repaired!

This is the problem of dealing with friends, or perhaps, soon to be, ex-friends.
You will probably not want to use a civil law remedy, which would be difficult in the circumstances you describe. I think the best you can do is to write by recorded delivery and ask for the return of you goods, repaired of not, within say 14 days, if repaired offer to pay.
