Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

If I lend something (Expensive) to a friend, and it gets stolen from him, is he legally liable?

I lent a very expensive airsoft rifle to my 18 year old friend to use in a movie he was making. He had a wild party, where many underage people were drinking. During all the chaos, someone managed to steal the airsoft rifle and slip away unnoticed. Is my friend liable for not taking necessary precautions to keep the airsoft rifle secure?

The rifle cost around $350.
