Update: Ds has paid for the new locks out of savings (about $90). He also bought for $20 a used Razr from a friend who got a new phone for Christmas. I think spending his own money on the phone will be incentive to really take care of it this time. He’s signed up to work this weekend and will make about $75-$85 so he’ll have almost recouped all his money.

Most importantly, I talked to dh about how continuing to berate him isn’t gong to make the situation better. He totally got it and ended up apologizing to ds for making such a huge deal about it.
