You did the right thing. Many parents today do not know how to discipline their children. So they grow up with a lack of respect for both their parents and other people, including their property. And because of that, people like you have to suffer for their mistakes. This will turn out to be the best thing for her, and yourself as well. Now you do not have to worry about your car while you are on duty, and you can get a newer, better one when you get back.

On a side note, if your friend is really a "friend," he would understand your position. While the situation is unfortunate, you have to worry about yourself and your property, because clearly your friend and his family did not. Hopefully you can now move on with little stress and aggravation. Best of luck.
