You've done something, that is the main thing and well done. You've got actually good descriptions there (a lot better than some I've been given - "some kid just smashed my window" "did you see them?" "yes" "what did they look like?" "I don't know") so you should really report it to the police. They can at the very least update crimint which will help for the area.
We (me and a colleague) nicked two kids milling around near locked bikes, one with a bike lock, one with bolt cutters, neither with a bike, for going equipped. This had to be explained to other colleagues as they weren't aware of the 'extra lock' method. I honestly don't know what became of those two kids but I even feel better that 1. some colleagues are more aware of a method some will use to nick bikes and 2. that the crimint entry will add to the knowledge of that area.
