Neighbourhood kids are swines

Think I need the hard hitting AIBU to tell me if I am being unreasonable.

So... We moved into a house three years ago in December. Since then, we have had to put up with...

  • little shits kicking their football against the house constantly. All we hear is boom, boom and even if we put the tv on really loud, it is still in the background. The tv is mounted to this wall and shakes every time it gets hit.
  • constant congregation between the end wall of my house and the council garages.
  • DPs windscreen smashed
  • my car had one kid (who is now in care but his 4 siblings aren't) run on the bonnet and roof of my car then roly poly off the boot. Scratched it while doing so. Both mine and DPs car have terrible bodywork because of them.
  • one boys dad lifted up the fence panel into my back garden, let his son in to collect a ball and dropped it again. We have now paid 235 quid for all new fence panels and bolted them in so they can no longer do this.
  • the front section of several bricks has fallen off/disintegrated because of constant ball kicks against it.
  • my sky and virgin media wires have been pulled away from the wall by them.
  • we had to pay for a fence around our front garden as they kept putting their fingers through my letterbox to tease my dog. He's a Rottweiler. He likes fingers Wink
  • there is currently a tennis racket belonging to one of them on the roof of my conservatory. We and he are lucky it didn't smash.
  • last night one thug like little shit was leaning against my house. I asked him politely if he could not lean against my house. (I can't ask one group to not go anywhere near my house but accept another one leaning against it so out of fairness) he took the piss out of me and said 'that's jokes man'. He also had a cap placed on his head rather than fitted to his head. A small gust of wind would have blown it off. I told him he should just have respect.
  • they've taken to climbing on the council garages opposite my house and have ripped off all the guttering meaning one wall now appears to have substantial damp.
  • if I ask them to move they say ok but are back ten minutes later.
  • they throw balls at my car out of spite.

-they say hello and are generally polite but also swear like navvys.

  • they're almost all below the criminal age of responsibility.
  • the police apparently can't put up a now ball games sign up as they can't police it and so can't put a sign up saying they will. Other streets a stones throw away have these signs.

Am I a miserable cow or would this piss you off?

How would you deal with it?

You must be able to get it cheaper!
I have an app on my phone for the high pitch whistle because my neighbour's dog barks constantly, and when i put the whistle on, it goes inside away from the noise!
So it might not work, unless you can set it at a pitch that doesn't annoy your dog?

Best there is a whole play ground and football pitch/basketball hoop approximately two minutes walk from my house. That's what pisses me off the most...

Yes good price to pay for my sanity but we hope to move soon. I'd pay if it was my forever home but if it is I'd shoot myself. Must be cheaper, I'll google. We also have a good amount of left over decking...
