I don't have a kid but I probably would give my kid the keys. I would tell him once and once only how much it's worth, not just $$ wise but the work hours I had to pull to get her the way she is. Give him $40 for gas and send him on his way. If you can't trust your own kid then your in trouble. You have bigger things to worry about.
The speak before the key hand off would go something like, "You know this is my baby right? You know how much OT I had to do right? You know that handing you this key is like giving you 40k cash to flash around in public right? ect."
