Default damn people in escalades

so i took my girlfriend out to a nice italian restaurant before her prom, everything was going well... then i go out to the parking-lot and what do i see, a big *** dent/scratch all on the driverside of my rear bumper... when we went in there was this clean *** escalade parked next to us sittin' on 23"s... while we were eating it tore out of the parking lot, and i was like, "wow, he's driving like he hit somebody's car"... so now i'm in a delema, do i get a different bumper, or get a new stock one if it needs to be replaced which i'm pretty sure it will be... i don't really recall seeing any aftermarket one's i like... what do you guys think...

well somebody ran into my firebird and the bodyshop i took it to had to replace the entire front fender, they did an excellent job of paintmatching and the car was 7 years old when it happened... since i won't be puting the on insurance, i'm gonna paint my sideskirts and get all the little chips fixed...

Fill out a police report and mention what you saw. How many Excalades with giant bling wheels could possibly be rolling around your town with a scratch that matches yours?

i highly doubt they will take even look into it. they'll write up a report and that will be just about it. unless someone was injured, the city won't waste its money and cops won't waste their time on these matters, while there are "real" crimes being comitted. but hey, if it makes you feel better, all the power to ya!

File a hit and run with the police, immediately. Even if they don't do anything you still have that as proof to your insurance. With most insurance companies (I can't guarantee yours) hit and run claims do not affect your insurance rate so you'll just pay you deductable and be on your way. Call them to make sure first.
