At least you're not in NYC - we've seen how their sanitation crews work, haha. Hope you get it taken care of soon.
The good news for me at least is I just got a call from my insurer who was writing up the estimate. Just under $2,900 in damages (which to me sounds like a lot - 10% of what I'm paying for the car - but he said it really isn't), the fender and front fascia need to be replaced (and they will be leaving the miserable front plate bracket off!), and the estimated completion date is January 6th! Not bad, considering I was worried I'd be without it for a month - shows what I know about auto damage.

So, I am guessing this will fall under your collision insurance? Therefore, you most likely have a deductible, correct? If you could prove that this damage was a result of a hit and run, the guilty party would be liable to pay the damage claim via his insurance or cash settlement. However, since it seems you can't prove who did it, you end up using your collision insurance and have to fork over the deductible...sucks. So much for parking on the street I guess.
