im sorry but i would except an attempt at replacement. It just shows that you respect that persons belonging. I saw a funny thing once, my SIL had a window broken by a cousins kid and their aunt and uncle ended up paying to get it fixed. but then that same SIL son broke a window at her deceased mothers house and it ended coming out of the estate without an attempt from her otherwise. it annoys me the double standard more than the monetary value. no respect for others belongings, her or her kids.
