My mailbox has been smashed four times, the neighbors saw the car and believed it was a Lexus, four door. We believe it is two boys from the high school. The police are involved but we need to id the model and year. Here are the pictures from our security camera. Thank you for your kindness.

That's not a Lexus. I don't know of any Lexus model with lights like that on the rear bumper.

Welcome to CL. There were no SC four-doors made that I know of.

The closest thing I can make to it (especially among Lexus products) is a fifth generation ES350 (2013/2014) before it went to the full-spindle grille in 2015. The taillights/headlights, and front-silhouette more or less fit that pattern, though, on the 5Gen ES, those lights in the lower rear-bumper were actually reflectors, not lights. In the picture, they may (?) be reflecting back at the camera off of some other light source.

Those are the rear reflectors, not lights.

Outdoor cameras switch to night mode when it is dark. This changes the picture to black-and-white and activates the infrared.
Infrared will illuminate the reflectors.
