Someone HIT my car in a parking lot!!!

I was out playing golf today, and someone who was running late for their game, nailed my car in the back left corner, and just continued to drive forward until he was in the parking spot. He then went inside, registered for his game, and came out, then MOVED his car to the other end of the parking lot. Thinking no one saw him he went off to his game, but 3 people saw him do it, so as I came off the 18th tee, and went to my car and loaded it up, the course manager came out to tell me my car had been hit. I hadn't even noticed it yet as I hadn't gotten to that side of the car yet. he showed me the vehicle that hit me, and he had a report already written out.

As the person who hit me, did not leave a note or anything, and tried to sneakily get out of it by moving his car, I of course called the police to report the accident as a hit and run. When the police showed, they requested the golf course find the owner of the car.

The owner came and tried to deny it at first, before he was told by the officer that there were witnesses and if he still wanted to deny it, they would file a report for hit and run, he would get a misdemeanor, and they would be impounding the vehicle. He quickly admitted it and gave his information to the officer for me.

The damage is not huge, but the corner below the taillight is pressed in, and it is scraped on the back at that same level almost up to the wheel. the impact strip and bumper is also scraped.

So no report was filed, but I was given all the guys info and insurance info. This is going to be an interesting event that I will have to deal with, but believe me My car will get nicely repaired, because I wont settle for anything less than a proper repair and proper paint match if it can be matched. If it can't, looks like I'll be getting a whole paint job.

I have pictures of his car showing my black paint on his bumper and I have pictures of my car too.

I had a great morning playing golf, and disappointing news when I was done, apart form the score I got on the course...

The owner was lectured by the cop about what he did, and about him not even leaving a note on my car.

So thats my story.
