While the "conflict" may be the reason your vehicle was damaged, as a matter of law, the person or persons who actually inflicted the damage are the only parties who may be held liable. You may in a lawsuit want to name your immediate neighbors as liable parties, but you will be expect to proof that their conduct resulted in the damage.

Sure, you can try, as long as you are willing to risk retaliation from what you describe as ' not nice' people.
