Not in Illinois, property damage H&R is a misdemeanor at most, sometimes a petty offense. Not sure about Florida.

Hope you find out the culprit, if not, that's what insurance is for.

It is a felony to leave in Fla. Just remember bro that no one has been physically hurt so be thankful for that part. I've had issues like this before with a senior citizen completely unaware of what they were doing, damaged my truck. This may not be some asshole who maliciously damaged your car but a very confused human being who never meant to hurt anything. Like Carlos said, cars can be fixed. IT SUCKS! I know how you feel but this is a kind of count your blessings kind of moment. I hope you find out what happened but please remember to cool down. If this is an asshole who ran because they had no insurance then I hope he spends some time in prison or has to pay a ridiculous fine. If it's a confused senior citizen then I hope you can work things out with them while having compassion on someone who might be scared out of their minds because they can't remember why their car is damaged as well. Either was we're all hoping and praying for a good outcome for you. You're not hurt so thank God for that.

My coworker found out the hard way about our suck a$$ laws in Alabama. A man ran a red light and clipped his rear bumper bending it. He takes off. My buddy follows and catches up to him in a gas station parking lot. Gets his tag number and gets out to confront him. He shoots a bird and off he goes. He calls police to report it. They told him to break off chase and they'd handle it. He went the next day to file report.

VB: I'm here to file a report for a hit and run I reported.
PoPo: (Rummaging through the computer for report and finds it) How much is damage?
VB: My buddy says he can fix it for $450.
PoPo: We're sorry sir but since it's less than $750, it's a Class C Misdemeanor which means that in order for charges to be filed, you have to swear out a warrant for his arrest for civil court. What's his name?
VB: Uh, I don't know. I gave YOU the tag number. Look it up.
PoPo: I'm sorry sir but we cannot reveal that information to you unless it's a felony case.
VB: How am I going to get the info?
PoPo: Hire a PI.
VB: Hire a PI when YOU have that info? Just give me his name and I'll sign the affidavit.
PoPo: Sorry sir but you must go to magistrate's office to sign the affidavit and to get a warrant.
VB: Will they give me his name?
PoPo: No sir. They cannot reveal that info unless it's a felony.
VB: Are you kidding me? You KNOW who it was that hit me and you can't do nothing because the damage isn't enough?
PoPo: Sorry sir but if you don't like the new law, talk to your local senator. We cannot give you his name but we cannot issue a warrant without you signing a complaint at clerk's office which requires his name. Hire a PI and they can get it for you. Then file the complaint.

No shiat. This is what went down. Bastages. He should have taken the truck to the dealer for an estimate.
