Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
In a way this reminds me of a situation i went through.My friend and I were playing around and we accidentally broke her cell phone.We were both to blame because she was video taping me and i blocked it...then snap.Well i was willing to pay half because it was both our faults but that just wasnt good enough.She freaked out and got her dad involved.She def. overreacted.I just thought it was unfair that i was getting blamed for it all.I told her to stop video taping me.But after that we stopped talking and lost our friendship.Its very sad how this happens.But i think you already have this figured out.Tell her exactally what you told us.If shes a good enough friend she'll understand and arrange some way for you guys to fix what has been done.Because believe it or not its her fault too for being such a procrastinater.

Okay, wow, lets figure this out. I think your friend is a little steemed because her iPod got stollen, but she is WAY over reacting hun. It seems like you've done everything you can, youve even offered to get her another one((Even thought it WASNT your fault)) She she understand that it is not like you just lost it or something, someone STOLE it. I mean you EVEnN tried to give it back to her, and she held off. If i were you i would sit down and have a conversation with her. Tell her how sorry you are, but that you did try to give it back. Tell her you will help her get an iPod((dont pay for it yourself..becasue your not the one who lost it)) Tell her it was an accident and if she is still acting like a snot, then it would be best to forget about her for awhile, until she is ready to become friends again.
GOOD LUCK!

Ok, first of all take a deep breath and relax a little. You definitely are in a difficult situation, but instead of pointing fingers, let's try to figure out how you can fix things. I really doubt your friend wants to end the friendship over this, she is just very upset about everything, but eventually it will blow over. This may seem like a dumb question and you might have even said it in your question but did you tell your friend you were sorry? Sometimes, that's just what they need to hear. It doesn't solve things but it shows that you care. Also tell her how important your friendship is to you and that while you're doing everything you can to get the ipod thing taken care of, you don't want this to ruin your friendship. Maybe you could write her a letter expressing how you feel, that's what I usually do when a friend is mad at me.
Ok, now to getting her an I-pod. What if you sat down with your parents and worked out a deal where you could do extra chores for them and earn extra money until you can earn enough money to buy your friend a new ipod. I don't know if you are old enough to babysit but that is another way to earn extra money. Ask around in your neighborhood. If your friend is mad that it will take too long, explain to her (as nicely as possible) that you are doing the best you can to get her another ipod.
Another reason your friend might be upset is because her mom is mad. Maybe you could try sending her mom an "I'm Sorry" card and explain to her what you are doing to get her daughter another ipod.
I hope this helps. If nothing else, then hopefully time will heal things.

This is really sad that your friend is so materialistic.
You are doing your best, and your friend will have to accept that, especially seeing as you offered to trade it back a few times.
I doubt that you guys will still be friends after this. It's really ridiculous that she is getting so worked up over something as stupid as an iPod.
You don't mention how old you are, but you're old enough to babysit, and so you should attempt to get her the money for a new iPod.
She should return your iPod, too, so that doesn't get stolen.
