You think your wife is a tool for your use?!
Pretty clear who the tool is there.

Neighbor A should offer to replace.
If I were Neighbor B, I would probably decline. We live in a single family home area and leave random stuff out all the time. I would consider someone dropping off item on my door or driveway returning it.

Neighbor A should have returned it to the shed.

+1. A should’ve brought it into their house for safekeeping

I think neighbor should have kept my ladder inside their fence backyard, or scaled it over our shared fence so it would be on the inside of my fence.
We live in a safe neighborhood where people aren't going to break into our fenced yards, but I think they should have known better that stuff left outside facing the alley can be considered a free-for-all. I'm a bit pissed that they were this negligent and I'm out my ladder.
You don't live in a good neighborhood.

It’s totally A’s fault. They didn’t receive a response from you so they basically….put your ladder out in the curb? When they have a whole townhome and fenced-in yard of their own in which to store the thing overnight? What the…

They should have texted you to open the shed. They should replace it.

Adam and Ben. Use names. It's easier.
Adam should have returned the ladder to the shed. Adam should offer to pay for at least a partial replacement. If I were in Ben's shoes, I would expect a partial repayment. If Adam doesn't want to offer money, that's fine, but Adam would not be allowed to borrow from me again.

Parties: Adam and Ben. They live in fenced townhomes
Adam asks Ben to borrow their ladder. Ben says "no problem, you can go in the back gate to get it from the shed and use it as needed."
Adam takes ladder, and uses it to do some outside work. Ben goes to sleep early, and did not get Adam's text on "where should I put it when I am finished?" Adam thus leaves the ladder leaning, but outside the townhome fences, which face an alleyway.
Ladder gets stolen.
Should Ben accept this as "things happen" since they missed a return placement message, or should Adam compensate for the ladder that was taken from the exterior?

I hope your neighbor does right by you.
