My daughter's ten and I wouldn't dream of leaving at home by herself, she's way to irresponsible. By the sounds of it, it's time your son learned the value of money. Don't buy him another bike, plain and simple. If he wants a bike, let him by it himself. I'm quite sure if he has to fork out the cash for it, he'll be a little more careful!
Sounds like our kids our very similiar. I can't give my daughter anything nice as it's usually destroyed or left somewhere within a week. I'm not quite sure what the solution is, but I have to be on top of Ashley 24/7 hounding her to pick up her things, clean her room, drain her tub, flush her toilet, etc...She is getting better, but has a long way to go before I'd consider her responsible.
