You might sue in small claims court, but I warn against it. You may lose, and make the situation awkward for everyone involved.
Anger makes you smaller, while forgiveness forces you to grow beyond what you were. - Cherie Carter-Scott
If you really believe that the teen and the parents are irresponsible and disrespectful of other persons' property, a small claims suit may give them all a wake up call. We have become too complacent, and should not accept antisocial behavior as the norm. This is what small claims court is for.
