<human>: Can you give me a shortened version of the text?

So "my friend" owns a small house in California and has been renting it out to a middle aged women and her son.  She has been evicted today because she hasn't paid rent since she moved in in February this year.  My friend had to go to court to get them out of there because they never paid rent.  That was an easy victory since the tenant never showed up to court because they really have nothing to say.

The house is now full of trash (they didn't use Waste Management to dump out their garbage), they broke my friend's appliances, they stole some appliances, they stole everything that was in the shed including a ladder.  They basically trashed the house and stole things.

If someone went into a liquor store and vandalized and stole, they'd be going to jail.  It makes me mad that these people can get away with this and not be held accountable because they lived there.

How should my friend go about getting these people into jail and getting money back for the stuff broken/stolen as well as the rent that they didn't pay?  They need to pay, but they also don't have money to pay.  Can they get thrown in jail for the vandalism alone?  What happens if they don't pay?  Can they just get away with this without being thrown in jail?  My friend needs advice on how to handle this.  He has already filed a claim through his home insurance company, but what he really wants to happen is for these people to be held accountable.
<bot>: Tenants didn't pay rent for 5 months, got evicted, stole stuff, broke stuff, trashed the place.  How can they be held accountable and what are the consequences?
