(He knew better.) A waiting period makes some sense. ("I am not going out again today orI can't buy it until payday." That wait is not punitive. Also imo, a true accident is not punished. That doesn't mean an item is replaced -- sometimes if I break something, I no longer have it anymore, or have to save to replace it. | |

Sometimes accidents are accidents, other times, someone put an item in a precarious situation (I can imagine ?writing? on the screen protector.) The rule has to be known in advance, I would think. | |
