I don't think you need to worry about trying to keep the neighbors' kid happy. Just do the right thing, like you did.

I remember playing a party in HS. I had a few empty beer bottles on top of my amp, and we were set up in the backyard of a house in Del Cerro (upscale part of San Diego). There were about 30 or 40 kids in the backyard, and we're in the middle of playing White Room or something and out of my peripheral vision I see this sea of kids go whoosh to the left and over the fence. I turn around and see a couple officers there. We immediately stop playing and I try not to look at the beer bottles on my amp (was 16 at the time). One cop says, "the party is over" to which I reply, "yes, sir, we'll pack up right now..."
I had a lot of conversations with police the next 5 or 6 years. Never ended up in jail, thankfully. But some odd moments to be sure. Like when they came in and my buddy had an axe he was taking to a plastic 5 gal water bottle...
