First these aren't kids. They are young men and by this age their inclination to do something like this is beyond mischief and hoodlum behavior. It's criminal and shows a careless disregard for other's property and given their willingness to lie it will probably be typical behavior in the future. Sounds as though you're getting the run around. A call to the police would be my next step.
