I'd watch the area and look for kids that bored look and of the age for such shenanigans. Maybe you can get lucky and post a few fliers up around the neighborhood saying their is camera/witness that got a good nut not great description of the culprit. Say you just want the damage taken care of and the kid's parents see it and make him confess out of doing the right thing or fear their kid will get in more trouble. I know pretty much all the kids within 10-15 houses both ways on my street and I know I'd have it narrowed down real quick. If somebody is walking around with a gun, real or fake and out in the open, they most likely aren't going far from their own yard so look at the direction it came from (diagonal on right rear of car and not too far away judging by the amount of lead left by the damage). They weren't that close though or they would have hit the window easier.

Always ask around no matter how dire it seems: I was doing an estimate in my van and going through a very nice neighborhood when my window was suddenly shot out. I immediately stopped and there was nobody around....ghost town. I pulled into the house I was going to and told them what happened. He immediately knew who it was. He said he would talk to the kids father and he did. The kids parents called me back shortly after to the house to see what he did and they profusely apologized and said they would pay for the window.

No wish to stereotype but the dude is in Poland. He is lucky it was a pellet gun!
