Fortunately (?) just a bumper indentaton that should be able to be pushed out and a small amount of paint cracking since the bumper was hot at the time. One exhaust surround was cracked so I'll have to replace that.

I'll most likely pull off the bumper and bring it to the local shop.

Just six months ago I increased my deductable to a high level since my family and I never get in accidents, so I'll be sucking up this one.

NY is tough on cars. Before I moved here I didn't know why I didn't see more hooked up rides on the roads - now I know. It's really hard to keep a car looking fresh and clean in this jungle.

Once you've done so, just mail it in and they'll file it. You keep a copy for insurance purposes. This helps your insurance company pin down the perp or his/her insurance company.
