This has happened to me THREE times!!!
Twice I have been scraped in the rear (that sounds gross) leaving gouges like you described. Both times it happened in the parking lot of where I work. The company next to ours HAS parking lot survelience that covers our lot as well, but REFUSED to release the tapes without a court order. To get a court order the police told me I had to have a SUSPECT!!!! So, those two got away.
The third time was a charm. It was in the lot of my apartment building. I woke up to find my front bumper pushed about a half inch to the right, my driver's side light assembly smashed out, and the fender rolled under about an inch in the front. NOT HAPPY! I called the police, they came and took the report and actually decided to do some INVESTIGATION for once!!! They talked to all the other tenants, no body saw anything. However, in the time it took the officer to ask around, a vehicle pulled into the parking lot with just a little streak of MY white paint and the winter dirt rubbed clean off. Long story short... the kid admitted to it, got a hit and run ticket, and agreed to pay me for the damages. I got half the repair bill out of him before he stopped paying. Then I called his insurance company, they sent me a check for the ENTIRE amount and took legal action to collect from him. I'm not sure if the guy lost his license or anything... but he got shafted with a big ticket, and 1.5 times the repair bill. He'll either think twice about running next time... or work harder to stay away from the scene of the crime.
