Today I was very angry to find a scratch on my front bumper. As this is my first brand new car I am very protective and paranoid of something like this happening. I figured this was done by someone backing into me and I was luckily enough to find the car right away that hit me. It happened at my apartment complex by someone that lives there.

Attached is a picture of my car and a picture of the suspected car that hit me. I'm 99% sure this is the car that hit me as the paint transfer is the same color as my car and it is fresh on their car. Plus I went as far as measuring the height of the scratches on each car, both are the same height off the ground. I am guessing the person didn't even know it happened based on how small the scratch is and the fact that it's and SUV. I left them a note on their car to contact me.

So my questions/concerns are:
1. Is this something some touch up paint can fix? If so, how much would a dealership (or body shop) charge to do this as I am not comfortable doing it myself.

2. This seems like something that doesn't need to be reported to the insurance company, but I guess that depends on how much it costs and how (if) the person decides they want to pay for it. It's a lease so again I am not sure how the dealership treats small things like this when it's turned in.

3. I've never had to deal with a situation like this. If the person denies it or never contacts me, how should I proceed? Seeing as this is a pretty small scratch to me it may seem silly to contact the cops if they deny it but I don't know. I defintely want it fixed one way or another.

Thanks!
