Can you file for criminal mischief in small claims court?

No. Criminal mischief is a crime (as far as i know its a misdemeanor, but it could be a felony somewhere). Being that it is a crime it goes to a criminal court. Small claims court is for civil disputes, typically for claims under $2,000. Only your state/county/local law enforcement can take someone to court for criminal mischief.

You just need to be able to prove what it cost(s) to fix these losses.
