I'm a nice guy, but I would have told him where ther closest tackle repair shop was located, and what the cost to repair it would be.
Sometimes you have to learn the hard lessons to learn the easiest ones!
When he learns 2 important lessons from this experience, my job would be done.
Those 2 lessons are:
1) "Caviat emptor" or "you break it, you bought it"
2) take care of you stuff or be prepared to pay, pay, pay!!!

Wasn't that a lesson our parents taught us as kids?
The ever-popular response from them was "If you took care of your ______ then it wouldn't have gotten broken!"

Sorry you had to deal with someone that apparently doesn't appreciate the tools of the trade as well as you do!
