Two teenage boys from Novato, Calif., were arrested this week after allegedly posting a video of themselves engaging in illegal acts to a page on MySpace, the wildly popular social network, according to a report from USA Today.

In the video, the two teens were allegedly seen setting off homemade firebombs and throwing them into an empty airplane hangar that was once a part of Hamilton Air Force Base, which closed in 1976, according to the report. The building endured "minimal damage," according to police investigators interviewed.

Following the arrest, the boys were released, but they may still face prosecution in Marin Country, the report said.
