There are some things you need to consider:
1. Accidents do happen - and you could have broken or torn it yourself.
2. You need to let whoever you hire know how you want things done; they are not mind readers
3. Also, you need to let them know what you want done and what you want them to leave alone.
4. I know this is something you would automatically do; they need to be treated with respect.
