Thanks for the tips U4EA. I think the perp is a friend of the neigbours kid, All I would have needed was a video to send to the parents and I might get my stuff back. Problem is I don't know which kid did it. I'm going to check out that second link you provided as it might do the trick.
I pretty much figured video survailance wouldn't have much legal punch considering burglers have more rights than victims.
