First time this ever happened to me... Not sure how to proceed.

14 years in the trade, this is the first time I've ever made this mistake...

I forgot a ladder worth approximately $250 outdoors during a commercial maintenance... I went back a day later and it was gone.

I told my boss and he seemed a little pissed... and he just said ok... Nothing further was discussed (yet)... I feel really bad.

Does he just take the loss?
