Some coward hit me while I was having lunch...

I had lunch with a friend and his awesome boy and saw this when we walked out to the cars.
Some F-ing coward hit my F-ing car and caved in my F-ing front bumper, bent my F-ing front fender. No note, no cameras covering the parking lot...
Sure wish I had parked it where I could see it.
F-ing cowards...
Waiting to hear from the insurance company.
Oh, and this was after the car wash at my local Sheetz messed up and broke the housing on my passenger side mirror!!!! (Waiting to hear back from them too)

do yourself a favor and get a police report showing it was a hit and run...most insurance wave the deductible when this happens...check it out OP and good luck!

Hair dryer would most likely let that come right back. I backed into my wifes car one time and caused a dent like that. It came right out. Couldnt tell it was ever hit.

My wife was the victim of a hit and run and while they didn’t waive the deductible, it was the comprehensive deductible (which was lower) that got applied instead of the collision deductible.

We got a police report but the insurance company told us they didn’t actually require one.

To the OP, that really sucks. Maybe it was an older person who didn’t realize they actually even hit you. Just speaking from experience with my dear father in law may he rest in peace...he was a great man but didn’t drive so well towards the end there.

Definitely sucks; fortunately, the damage looks fairly minor ... although I know any damage is heart wrenching and ruins what sounds like started out as a good day.

And old trick I learned in auto shop is to poor boiling water from a big pot over the area and push it out from the other side when it's still hot helps keep the paint from cracking. YouTube have videos.

Or a heat gun, but I think he needs to remove the bumper to straighten out a piece or two behind there before going after the dent.
I wouldn't bother with a claim, just have the buddy help. I would save the 1 strike against me on insurance claim vs the small amount if any you got after subtracting your deductible.
