THE CRIME MAY be a classic teenage misdemeanour, but this punishment is decidedly of the 21st century.

An Irish dad caught his 15-year-old son smoking last week for the SECOND time, and decided drastic action needed to be taken.

So he confiscated the teenager’s undoubtedly cherished iPhone – then put it up on DoneDeal. And for what price? A measly €1.

Grounding him did not do the trick so hopefully this teaches him.

The iPhone does not appear to have found a buyer yet, so perhaps we can assume that Dad just intended to teach a very harsh lesson. *clutches iPhone tightly*
