Nomad,
What did your son say when you told him?
I wouldn’t go any farther with this, myself. The instrument is valuable, but not as valuable as your relationships with your son, daughter-in-law, and grandkids.
I would let your son decide whether to tell his wife or approach the boy’s family.
I would either put away valuables and lock rooms up in the future (knowing that this could happen again no matter how careful you are) or have less gatherings at your home that this family will be attending.
Maybe assign your son as informal caretaker/second set of eyes on this child if he is agreeable.
It’s a tough spot to be in.
I was at a gathering last month with a serveral relatives, and I resolved to keep my eyes on the kids at all times, as I didn’t feel the parents (one particular set) were supervising their young children (they have five) around the nearby lake.
