Good heavens, you wrecked his car and won't give an old laptop back to him as partial compensation? Legally, he cannot force you to return a gift. But the right thing to do here is clear: he wrecked his car and caused him to incur a loss and probably some expense to get the car fixed or replaced. If getting back the laptop will give you a credit of 200 bucks or so against the costs, you'd be a fool not to cooperate with someone in whose debt you now find yourself.
