I would try to report it right away on 16 as Jorge said. Try to get as much info from the boat as well make, model, registration. Whatever you can see. Just be careful out there at night. I wouldn't try casting into them or anything. Besides the dangers of not knowing there reaction, it doesn't help your claim if you can actually get Port Police or DFG out there.

I checked DFG's site and all they post is phone numbers, Harbor Police say they can be hailed on Ch 16. Someone stealing gear is a crime that could escalate so it would constitute an emergency. Just let them know immediately that no persons or vessels were in immediate danger. Thing is, does anybody mark their hoop nets with some kind of one off identification if the Police were there to help?

I do not mark my, but now I will grind marks on the ring and take a picture.

You will get faster results calling harbor police by cell phone, but you should also make calls on 16 as well. They respond pretty fast. Remember you're on a Kayak at night and these boaters will try anything to keep from being caught. If they are willing to take the hoop nets, what else do you think they are willing to do?
