An ITouch is very expensive. I can see your point. Is your DD use to carrying a cell phone and keeping up with it? If so then she was careless and so lost her very expensive birthday present. I know what you are feeling about this. My two girls would lose expensive items and I felt like money was wasted. But I realized my money was spent, it wasn't coming back regardless if they hadn't lost the item. They were the ones to lose the enjoyment of the item and knowing their carelessness was the reason.
