Vandalism - Report or not?

[Jeanni Prescan]

So I have a totally rehabbed vacant house for sale, listed on the MLS, that was broken into on Tues night. The house is on a nice, quiet street, but never the less, on the "fringe".

The skum bags broke a small basement window, climbed in and stole some of the copper pipes.  Even took the water meter which equates to water gushing into the basement.  Thank God I stopped at the house early last evening and did a walk through; otherwise I would soon have  all manner of things growing in a wet basement and beyond.  

Immediately called the police and water authority to turn off water at the curb and secured the windows, of course. 

I'm seeking your opinion as to what to do about the police report, as they asked me to come to the station to file a report today.  If I file it, the house address will be posted in the newspaper ( I think).  I'm afraid that will have an negative effect for potential buyers and/or renters.  The neighbors all know about it already since the police were there and it was the entertainment of the evening.   And I'm sure it's spread to the further areas of the hood as well.

What do you think?  File or not?  I looked at the seller disclosure and didn't see that I have to disclose vandalism.  

Looking forward to your replies and thank you in advance.
