Which indicates how easily it is to misunderstand those whom we do not personally know (especially of another group - even the Amazons were shocked and dismayed when they discoverd the campsite of the Swallows) and accuse them of anything. This excellent illustration of Captain Flint not even thinking that his nieces may have been responsible for the fireworks and of course, the "unknown" children HAD to have set off the fireworks and stolen his chest with the manuscript. How easy and convenient it is to accuse the "unknown"! It was not at all, as you said, about class, but about the "unknown". The real burglars were presented as "lower class" men when Titty heard them unloading the "treasure chest". Wonder if they ever came back looking for their booty?

Really, it seems to me, that the moral of the story is: Get to know your adversary - they may not be what you think!
