Would you include evidence of damages when returning a deposit?

Returning it with deductions that is. Tenant seems sue happy, a scammer based on my dealings with them. Would you include proof of unpaid bills, pictures of garbage left behind, etc.? I want to dissuade these fools from trying to file suit against me, they seem like the type in my interactions with them. 

Although I have a mountain of evidence such as bills, an email from the utility proving they never established service, pictures, nothing found during two pest inspections, etc. and would win a case in court, it's still stress and hassle, not to mention a lot of time lost. Hence why I figured I'd include some of the evidence to dissuade them.
