It really depends on the sub. One of my boys is very sensitive, and would be horrified if he did something that so obviously displeased me. Him, I might give a light spanking just to help offset his guilt, then tell him to make it up to me with a massage and by replacing the item. He'd probably give me a wonderful massage, replace the item, take me to dinner, buy me flowers, and give me dozens and dozens of sweet kisses in apology. Less sensitive subs would probably be more severely punished, especially if I had explicitly told them to be cautious. It really depends on how much of a sincere apology I get vs how many lame excuses I get. I tend to play with boys (and far too occasionally, girls) who crave discipline for misbehavior. Often this is about guilt, so even if I do not feel a certain behavior warrants physical correction, if it is obvious they feel guilty about it I will deliver it to help them let go of their guilt. The severity of this punishment is entirely dependent on what level of correction is required for the sub in question and how truly sorry they really are. In any case, all would be required to replace the item or compensate me for it's value. On a rare occasion, if and only if I believe the damage was done consciously or unconsciously on purpose (you know how sometimes subs have cranky phases and seem to go looking for trouble even if they can't admit to themselves that's what they are doing. . .), I may retaliate by dramatically breaking something the sub also values. It wouldn't be something irreplaceable; I am a softy and would, after a certain period of time, replace it, perhaps as gift. I'd only pursue this avenue, however, if I was pretty sure the sub broke the item on purpose or in a fit of sullen carelessness. If any sub of mine goes cruisin' for a bruisin', they are going to get one PLUS a lot more than they bargained for. I might also set a certain daily punishment to be delivered each day until they replace the item. That could get very uncomfortable if it's an expensive item!
