Both the suspects and the company in which the security guard worked for should have to pay restitution. The organization in which the fireworks were to go to lost out in making money for their causes. Furthermore, any issues pertaining to explosives are to be registered as arsonists. The law should not reduce their crimes to petty larceny or theft. They knew what they were doing when they premeditatedly stole the fireworks. Also anyone who used them should also be in custody, kids and adults.
