I was at work and left my car parked on the street, someone ran into my car while leaving their parking space and drove off,

A stranger witnessed the incident live and captured a picture as the car drove off and got pictures of the damage to my car.

The stranger left a note on my car notifying me, I spoke to her and had her email me a brief statement of what happened.

*"I was leaving work on Tuesday the 24th of February at around 2.50pm, when I saw a white Volvo (****NUMBER PLATE****) reverse into a red Mazda which was parked. The driver must have known they crashed into the parked car as they were there a while and the white Volvo was scraping the red car. The driver then failed to get out /stop and drove off towards* ***LOCATION***."

She also supplied the pictures that were automatically timestamped and geotagged at the point of capture. 👆

I checked everywhere for security cameras the only camera facing the incident is a triple camera setup mounted on a lamppost, I live in West Yorkshire/Kirklees and I'm guessing its a traffic/council camera? (See image)

I'm guessing it will cost £600+ for a professional repair, or £150ish for a clean-up job that tries its best to hide the damage (damage covers arch and some of the bumper)

I am a young driver with 3 years no claims (not protected) and £500 excess. I'm unsure about the following:

* **Do I start a claim with my insurance company? Do I actually have any chance at getting anywhere with the claim given my current evidence? (I'd rather preserve my NCB and do a shoddy repair job if theres a fair chance I'll lose)**
* **Do I inform the police and provide this evidence, will they actually do anything or even care at all?**
* **Who/what authority could that camera potentially belong to and would they provide footage or would they be unable to?**

All in all this entire thing sucks because apart from being unwashed my car had spotless bodywork.

Someone hit my car while parked and drove off, I have no CCTV proof, only a witness and a 3 pictures they took [England]
