I think you should first go to the mother and talk to her. Because what happens next would depend on whether she is aware of what her sons do or not. Calling the police should not be done first, because the police won't really be able to do anything unless you make a full complain for thievery, and then the guys may think you are a coward and start do nasty things to you and your family. It would happen like that in France, anyway. I DID have once the same kind of neighbour Clouddy has, we asked them to stop making noise late, they didn't stop, we called the police once, the police went to their places and asked them to stop then went away, then the neighbours started doing unpleasant things to us. We moved out eventually.
