Had this happen to my old GS-R all the time. Basically, people don't want to deal with the drama or insurance headache so they just take off. Every parking lot, every street-side parking, it's a gamble. I was parked outside a donut shop once, staring at my car, when an older lady in a Camry pulled up to a parking space directly in front of my car and BAM hit it directly. It took me a few seconds to realize what really happened. I ran out there and confronted her. "It's not that bad, just a few scratches." she nervously quoted. I kind of smirked and retorted, "we'll see." Took down her info, got a quote from a body shop for bumper repair/repaint. $1600 later she wasn't so flippant. Maybe next time she'll pay more attention.
