It is a waste of time. My deductible is $500, my first quote for the damage is $540. I'll shop around, maybe I can get a price of $400. I don't have black box footage. Just grainy parking camera footage from 30 yards.
Come to find out - the owner of the RAV4 went to the leasing office to look at the video. Denied that it was him driving the car after looking at the footage. Simply said that's not me. Nice job detective; there's 20 parking permits in our lot with 1 RAV4. He demanded the office not give his contact information nor apartment number to me. The guy working at the leasing office rubbed me the wrong way, made it sound like I was possibly harassing. I'm done with those clowns.
I still don't know how this person looks like so it's hard for me to confront them, I don't have window view of the parking lot. Since the incident they have parked the vehicle directly in the front street parking overlooked by an entrance camera 10 meters away.
BTW - this is the trash I'm dealing with. No sense of integrity or respect. Not even a phone call. I don't know about people, but if I received such a note I'd feel obligated to respond even if I was sure I did nothing wrong. NOT EVEN A CALL.

To whom it may concern,
My name is Mike, I drive a red Scion FR-S. On the late evening of Tuesday, Dec 9th at approximately 10:15PM your vehicle made contact with my vehicle in the gated parking lot. The damage was notice around 10AM the following morning after you've left.
On the video, your car is seen driving into the lot, driving into the parking spot beside my vehicle before reversing out of the spot, repositioning, and reparking in the spot.
I keep meticulous care of my vehicle. There is white / silver paint transfer onto my car with a deep quarter size chip and dent to the bare metal.
I understand accidents happen, and you barely nicked me. However, the body work estimates on this damage are considerable. I'd like to speak to you about this and am willing to contribute to fixing this if necessary.
Please contact me at XXX-XXX-XXXX anytime.
Regards,
-Mike
