Pete Townshend has a lot to answer for

Today, my little brother watched an old video of The Who, who are know for smashing up their guitars and such. He decided it would be cool to try it with mine. That guitar was worth over $3000. FML

Today, my sister just had a huge fight with my mom. After that, she thought it was appropriate to smash my $1,000 guitar to "blow off some steam." FML

Today, my sister was playing a rock star in a play. When she got home, she told me she used one of my old guitars, because I told her it was ok. I said she could take one to practice on, not destroy on stage. FML

Today, my older brother puked in the sound hole of my sister's guitar. He blamed it on me, and in revenge my sister beat me with the guitar. FML

Today, I had to explain to my little sister that not all guitars are supposed to have a hole in them, that when I was talking about "breaking it in" I didn't mean I'd smash a hole in it, and that she shouldn't have taken a hammer to my expensive new guitar. FML

Today, my 12 year old son came home from school and informed me that he bought an air guitar for $20. He honestly thinks this is a good price. FML

Today, I was in a music shop looking for a new guitar when someone called out someone else's name and jumped on my back. I lost balance and fell forward and broke 3 guitars and damaged another 6. The guy said "Sorry, thought you were someone else" and ran out. I now have to pay £2500. FML

Today, my girlfriend and her mother bought a hanger for my $2000 guitar as a birthday present. They wanted to surprise me by hanging it on the wall. They screwed it upside down, so before I came home it fell off and my guitar broke. FML

#53 i wasn't trying to devalue anything. i was just trying to make the point that he/she shouldn't complain about the price being 3,000 when their are guitars worth so much more. 3,000 dollars may seem like a lot, but when compared to other more expensive guitars, 3,000 dollars is a pretty good deal. and not all the expensive ones are special edition. a regular mint condition Gibson Les Paul from the 60s can easily be priced at 12,000 or more. 3,000 dollars isn't that much.

And ... they weren't breaking their ONLY instruments... just ones specially purchased for the show I dunno about 3K not being a lot. It's high enough that its qualifies as grand larceny (instead of petty) if stolen. but even if it was just a $200 guitar... the brat had no call for breaking it. It wasn't his to break.

It's not really larceny; he didn't take it, he broke it. You should talk to your parents, if you still live with them, and tell them about the blatentness of the destruction. Also, if he's under 18, they are liable for his actions, so technically, they might have to buy you a new guitar. FYL for sure.
