hi
you certainly can have charges filed- such as malicious destruction of property, tresspass, reckless endangerment, etc. and if he is not made to make restitution as part of his conviction, then you would need to go to small claims court.
you can go to your court magistrate, in some states called a court commissioner, and fill out a statement of charges which will prompt a subponea for him to appear in court. and you also can go to the DA's office and tell them you want this matter prosecuted. i dont know why the police would not take a report. you might want to discuss that with the magistrate and the DA, too

i was under the impression that your survelliance would have captured the license tag number of the truck, which the DA could have hunted down. that is why i said to speak to the DA regarding the prosecution. but if you do not have the name of the suspect then the DA can speak with your neighbor and try to get them to reveal who this person was. your neighbor cannot be held responsible for the actions of his guest for this
