I'm sorry about your son. That must be so heartbreaking for a mother.
I think you're right about it being time to draw boundaries and enforce them. When he told you about taking off the padlock to your room he crossed a big boundary. Stand firm.
I understand your frustration. I think anybody who works with the public in a capacity where you run into people who don't feel the rules apply to them feels that same frustration, especially if they try to live by those rules. It happens. It stinks that it happens. It's not fair. I wish there was some way to make the world fair.
But I'm guessing a black market trade in luxury items to avoid taxation would flourish just as the underground economy flourishes now.
People are ever resourceful at things like that.
