So what does his daughter do? She posts about the money and settlement on FB and her father loses the cash.
So, other than standard things (such as food, medical care, schooling and other expenses) what is the most money that you've ever "cost your family" by doing something foolish?

I've put a spoon in a microwave, bricked the thing. Cost to the tune of £499 for a new one. Also lost 200 Euro while on holiday in France. So that's about ~£660 total. Ouch. That's £36 a year.
