Our kids and their cousins did something once. We found out about it and the kids were punished for their deed. The kids admitted to what they did but didn't think it was that bad, but all of the parents disciplined them. They probably all got away with other things, but if they got caught, they got at least a talking to.

When the parents refuse to believe that their child isn't as pure as the driven snow, they are encouraging bad behavior. I wonder if your neighbor's kid ended up being a trump lawyer?
