Soooo stupid!

I came to work this morning and parked. I saw the car that I bumped, and I looked at it more closely.

There's a barely noticeable indentation, not more than an square inch or so by the wheel, and there's a flake of paint chipped off.

I'd be really surprised if he were planning on getting anything on his car replaced, and I doubt it would cost more than my insurance deductible, but these things are weird, so who knows.

Blargh.

The guy is an idiot to log a claim for soemthing like that. Even with "hit and run" as he's claiming, it will still go on his insurance record that he was involved in an accident. It only takes a few of those until they won't even cover him anymore, no matter who's at fault.

I strongly recommend that you take a picture of the "damage", for your own records. Photograph both the car you hit him with and your car. Since it was your accident, the onus of proof will be upon you and you should be well armed for your defense.

you should take pictures just to cover your butt

How do people notice that kind of thing? Somebody could drive a motorcycle up and down my car and it'd take me at least a few days to notice the damage.
