@stigatle That's truly awful. I hope you could somwehat comfort your son. The double pain of losing the phone and then encounter the rude and inconsiderate act must have pained him a lot. And I guess the latter even more so than the first. It's difficult to react as a parent in this situation: How does one explain willful destruction of other people's possessions, esp. ones carrying so many memories Realizing that the world can be cruel must have been a major blow to him. I'm sorry for you all.
