Wonder if maybe you could take the offenders to small claims court, if you have that much info. Might be enough to get them to choose an easier target.

I don’t know if it would materially affect the individual offender. Lot of them are actually just teenagers. And the time cost for us would not be insignificant.

That being said, if there was a way we could signal to all the would-be-offenders that we took prior cases to court, that could be quite worthwhile.

Well, small claims is not that hard to prepare for (vs "real" claims), and you can hit them up for a few K.

But you are right, they might claim inability to pay.
