So nobody here has tested something, anything, ever? He wanted to see how strong it was, so he tried to bust it up. It wasn't like he ran into your house, stole yours, and proceeded to whack it with a hammer. There is nothing that says he is not allowed to destroy the remote if he so pleases. Plus, it's not as if he does this on a daily basis, it was just a one-time event. So, lay off him.
