vent time!
so i just introduced myself awhile back cus i just recently bought a 2006 rx8. ive had it for exactly 27 days. not even a month! an idiot from out of town decides to back up his nissan maxima without first checking his mirrors or looking behind him. and what do i hear? CRUNCH! i was like WTF?! and the guy said "well hadnt you been speeding around the corner in your little fancy sports car" and i proceeded to say, "dumbshit. i was stopped. i wasnt even sitting in my vehicle when you hit it." so i call the police to file a report and he says oh you dont need one they dont even file it they dont care. i was getting very frustrated by that point. he just kept saying lets exchange info and we can be on our way. he ended up leaving before the cops came! ughh. heres some pictures.

Yeah.. that is crazy... I've had a hit and run... and I had info... and they didn't do anything... all I got was my story on the insurance... and they counted it as a "No Fault Accident." So, at least I got no deductions on it.

That wasn't a "hit and run". It was a bump in a parking lot. Most times, parking lots are PRIVATE PROPERTY, and not under police jurisdiction for crashes, so no, the cop won't really give a darn about it. About all you can get the person for is damage to your own property, and if you already have their name and insurance information, that's all you're gonna' get out of 'em.
No chance that person would be prosecuted for a "hit and run". They exchanged information, end of story; that's a perfectly legitamate (and preferred) method of dealing with little non-injury fender benders on private (and some public, depending on your local laws) property.
Heck, in KY, all they require is for you to file a police report at the station within 24 hours of a crash. So two people can play bumper-cars, exchange information, and then go file a report at the station, and never once even have to call the police for it.
