Why not take them to small claims courts? It's actually pretty easy to do and you have a strong case if you can support everything you said. Make sure all your documentation is in order, including the police report. I took my tenants to small claims for bailing on me, owing three months' rent (over $4000!). They didn't show up and I got a "summary judgment" against them. I took it to the county sheriff. The sheriff took their new Lexus, sold it at auction and sent me a check. I even got my court fees and interest! The little guy can win if he's persistent. Unless his/her name is Rita in which case you're screwed (this refers to another regular here in ROR).
