Neighbors Kid Shot my rental window out!

SO I received a call tonight from my tenants and they said that their kids were playing in their room and all of sudden the window gets shot by a bb gun. When the tenants confronted the neighbor about it he denied it and went in the house and started yelling at his grandkid…

My tenants say they didn't see the kid do it, but its not hard to realize this kid did this (he's your typical neighborhood Dennis the Menace). They have seen him with a bb gun before outside in the past. My tenants had the window replaced for $355 today and I didnt know about it until they paid to have it done.

What do I do now? I know I have to reimburse my tenants, but what about going after my neighbors? Would I need to be able to prove it or what? Is it even worth the headache?

Thoughts???

@Chance Cooper $355?  That seems mighty steep....
