At 13 years old you had better understand why you're loosing something valuable to you when you wrecked TWO valuable things of someone else. If not, you are a few fries short of a happy meal and no amount of training will fix that.

I agree working it off would would be better. It would require active participation in his punishment. It can also teach a good work ethic and the value of money.

Plus just remeber that the child caused all this damage when UNSUPERVISED (and with a friend for that matter).

He wasn't supposed to be home alone. He was supposed to be at the skating rink with all the other kids. He wasn't supposed to leave early. Granted perhaps there was no supervision there at the time but I doubt all those parents were sending their kids without supervision. I would hope someone would be overseeing. If not then yes they made a serious error. "Saturday night I send my son & his friend to the skating rink like the rest of the parents. I was to pick him up from the skating rink after it ended."
