Heres what you should do.
1) Prop a bucket of hammers on your door or over your doorbell.
2) Set a tripwire up in front of your door connected to the bucket. (If its as dark as you say, they wont see any of it)
3) Wait for bloody murder
4) Call the police and tell them that somebody tried to break into your house with said bucket of hammers.
Done. No more cigarettegy kids ringing your doorbell ever again.
