Who should pay?
I had to get a part replaced on my car. I purchased it for $60. It was an easily replaceable part, so my boyfriend offered to put it in. In the process, he dropped one of the two screws it needed to be held in place down into the framework of the car. I then purchased a magnetic device to retrieve the screw for $6.50. He couldn't find the screw with that, so we had to go to a dealership to purchase another one, as normal auto supply stores did not carry it. The new screw came in a set of $3 for $27. He wanted me to pay for everything: the part itself, the magnet and the new screws, but I do not believe I should be responsible for paying for anything but the part because he is the one who offered to replace it and he lost the screw. What would be the legal solution to this problem? Who would pay for what?

Re: Who should pay?
He should pay for the replacement screws for the one he lost. The magnet tool is yours, and may come in handy for other things.
If it has to get legal, it's time to dump him.
