Just because they left the note there doesn't mean they scratched/keyed your car and took the registration. Anger is not enough to go on because anybody who is angry that day could have walked by your car.
Since there are no witnesses and no video cameras to record and the area is in plain common public area, anyone could have gone there and destroyed your car. Be it a drunk retard or some punk kid. The question is, how do you prove in a court of a law that he actually did it ??

Reasonable doubt only applies in a criminal case. In a civil case, preponderance of evidence is the standard, which means it is more likely than not that they did it. The Op could always file a civil suit against his "friends," but he might still lose, but his chances are not so bad
