I would see if you could get any witnesses, because even though he backed into you, it could end up being your word against his. The guy who hit me was apologetic when it happened, but later denied everything when the claim was filed. Fortunately there was a group of high schoolers who saw it and let me use them as witnesses.

This kid was also apologetic after he hit me. He, at first, begged me not to call the cops, and kept saying he was sorry. But sorry's weren't going to fix my bumper and hatch is it?

Luckily, my brother, cousin, and a friend was there to witness it happen along with me so that should be good.

I just called MOCO police again and they told me that they do NOT file a report unless somebody is injured or a tow truck is needed. Thats pretty dumb IMO.

lol call the insurance and have it towed =p can we get a pic of the damage?
