Car hit while parked, worth pursuing?

[lewisdmz]

Well it's what everyone dreads, walking out to your car in the morning to find some incompetent arsehole has damaged your car.

"Luckily" the damage to my car isn't that bad but i'm still gutted and I don't know whether it's worth doing anything about it? Half of me thinks it's not worth the hassle and just let it go, the other half thinks why should I be out of pocket / have my car devalued.

I've managed to find a car parked nearby with extremely coincidental damage. Whether or not this is enough to prove anything to police/insurance I am not sure? My car was parked on near a corner with the drivers side facing the road, they have obviously turned left into the road and cut the corner.

I've seen the car owner and know where he lives, so I could knock on the door and ask if he know's anything about it, if he denies everything I'm not sure what I would say? I'm guessing my insurance would go up if I did claim?


















Anyone have an idea of how much that would cost to get touched up professionally? I'm guessing about £150?

Thanks in advance.
