Danny - it will teach the kid a lesson. He disrespected his mother and went against what he had been taught. It wasn't his car or education to be wasted. Apparently, he's still living off his parents, and to attempt to waste not just the car, or education, or himself, his mother took immediate action to remedy the problem before it became serious. A couple of years ago, I'd probably have felt the same way Steven does right now, but I know better. She did it for all the right reasons!
