hello, my car was hit yersterday when it was parked, and when i got home i saw the damage and there was a police card left on my windshield with case#. so i went to police station to get a copy of the police report, and they are telling me to wait 5business day to have my copy, and i don't even know if this case is hit and run or if the person who hit my car called the police and made a case. so do i have to just wait until i get the police report or is there anyway that i can find out briefly what happened?? any help will be greatly appreciated.

Call up your insurance and give them the case number when making a claim. They should be able to find it if you don't want to wait.

i think either 1. person who hit your car reported it 2. a witness reported it.

at my business i have to report break ins and have cop come down and file a report and they will leave their business card with case # on it.

^yeah that's what i did. your insurance can get the police report quicker. hopefully its not to much to repair. sucks it had to happen to yuh dude

Is the officers name on the card?

Yup.

And if your insurance company works like mine does, you need to do this in order for it to be treated as a hit and run. Otherwise it gets treated as a "collision."

Sorry to hear this happen to you... at least you didn't wake up with a big dent on your driver door and a baseball sized rock next to it. Yes it was me.
