Homeowners policies do cover vandalism and malicous mischief but unless the damage is extensive it may not meet your deductible. Another thing to remember these days is that insurance companies have been loosing money in homeowners insurance for several years. I always remind my clients that homeowners insurance is made for big losses not small ones. A homeowners policy is the most coverage for the lowest premium in the insurance business. With companies loosing money they are going to be more careful about who they write and if you are ever cancelled for too many claims you will find it hard to get new coverage at a reasonable cost.
