If you are organised and a disorganised person randomly disorganises your previously organised environment and tools, including relocating them to totally illogical places, it can cause involuntary snappiness.
Someone once borrowed my wheelbarrow, without asking, and returned it explaining that it was useless because half way through the job it had developed a flat tyre and could I fix it because they were running late. I too was running late, had spent half an hour looking for it.
Whilst rudeness is never a good solution, the misappropriation of tools resulting in endless hours hunting for previously easy to locate and in working order tools, is, in my opinion, a snapable offense.

If people ask thats fine but at my old yard a new girl was continually using my things (everyone had their own space outside their stable for muck out kit/grooming kit etc) and there was also a whole heap of communal tools at the barn entrance but she insisted in using my stuff and leaving it dirty with poo and straw in the fork and brush etc. Politely reminded her where the communal stuff was and added that if she wanted to use mine then asking first and cleaning afterwards was a sign of basic good manners..
