Spiteful son

My 8 year old is becoming more and more spiteful towards his younger brother, a few months ago his brother "lost" his glasses, he knows that he has to wear them all the time and he watched me search high and low for them, this went on every morning which made us late for school and they always turned out to be "hidden" by my eldest son, the final straw came they went missing for days and days... it was only after the wheelie bin was emptied that he admitted to throwing them away "by accident".

They both got nintendogs for christmas and since they've had it (one each) my eldest has tried his best to wreck the youngests game spending all his money, unlearning the tricks and donating the dogs. Now again my sons Nintendogs game has gone missing, I will be FUMING if he's thrown it away but he's insisting (unconvincingly) that he doesnt know what's happened to it.

I'm getting sick to death of it, how can i get through to him to stop?

Is he very jealous of his brother?

If he has thrown his brother's nintengog game away, I would replace it with his own. Every time he damages his brother's stuff, do (not just say you will do next time) the same to his.

stick

take his nintendog thing off him ..
make him earn sessions on them
have a limit he's allowed to play on it
every time he does something horrible take time off him
have a big time chart on the wall

carrot
take him out just the 2 of you and have a nice totally focused on him time without discussing younger sibling .. do it a lot
