Forget the e-brake, coasted into a parked car
I have a friend who's cars e-brake actually just let go one day. Unfortunately for him he lives on a busy street and his car got smashed by a passing car lol (black car at night). He made an insurance claim telling them exactly that and they fixed the whole thing - the deductible of course.
Just tell them the car rolled away, and you don't know why.

With that said to all the posts like this one, you guys and girls really go off sometimes and sound really dumb. Like internet moms or something. LOL just answer the posts topic, why go off...he will decide what his life path says to do. Maybe the jeep doesn't want to be mentioned, maybe it was set up for a new hood who knows, but soooo much judgement here not needed.
NEW by about a month Z33 HR driver , 23 yrs old JOINED the young adult club bout 2 yrs ago, and big boy it daily. Thanks btw
PS four days after I got my ride a tree branch fell fifty feet and landed on top of it,lucky not the heavy end...here is before and after 1700 under comprehensive ,500 de duct ...sucked to pay that right after purchase! lol
i did this once with a mazda3, had the ebrake up but just not all the way, i was waiting in line at the post office when people where chattering, i looked out the window and saw my brand new ride (470miles on ODO) going on its own journey without me 
came out with just a bumper replacement, and paid out of pocket, life lesson

And it is probably far too late to get any real answers in this thread but what the hell.
I spoke to the Jeep owner and he said there is nothing wrong with his car and has no interest in going any further. That being the case, I will be totally honest with the insurance company but will they want to check out the Jeep anyway? Also, since this happened on gated, secured company grounds, the security team has a full report to back up the time frame, location, etc.. I'm not going to mess around with digging myself into legal troubles. I really just wanted to know how all this insurance stuff was going to turn out before I call them. Information is good to have.
All that matters to the insurance company is that you're filing a claim. It doesn't matter that you caused it through negligence or it was an accident or caused by somebody else. The bottom line is that you're claiming it.
I may be wrong, but that damage doesn't seem too bad to me. If I were you, I wouldn't even go thru insurance. If you have some funds, get an estimate and try to fix it yourself I say.
P.S. Definitely don't lie to insurance, morality aside, if u look at risk to reward, isn't worth it at all

I told the op to tell his insurance company that his car rolled into another car, is that not what happened?
Perhaps you paired my first post directed towards the op together with my second post directed towards the saints we're blessed with on this site and came to that assumption.
+1 to all the posts before. It doesn't look too bad, but everyone makes mistakes sometimes. Atleast you know next time to pull up the e-brake or just keep it in first gear when you park, but as a precaution I put it in first gear and pull the e-brake to make sure. Good luck.
Question: Is it worse to tell the insurance company that it was my neglegence with the e-brake or should I claim it was hit in a parking lot (without security cameras, of course) while I shopped? I really dislike the idea of being dishonest but insurance companies have a way of screwing their paying customers over by way of technicalities. I'm fully covered, though, so this thing will cost me five hundred bones, regardless, plus whatever they decide I should have to pay them in future rates.
No. Not exactly. Let's say for academic purposes, in a world where we aren't all saints, does the insurance company care that it was the bonehead owner's actions with the e-brake?
Yes, so much fail. Tell me about it. I take care of this car and I'm a responsible person. Major suckage.
