Unless there's a way to prove that she did it, the police nor insurance companies are going to do anything.

Yes, but that doesn't prove that she actually did it. Police don't waste their time on things like this, which I know isn't what you want to hear. If there was a legitimate accicent and she ran from the scene, then maybe (yes maybe), the police would follow-up (but not always unless there's an independent / 3rd party witness).

If there's a consistent crease, then the dent will probably come out pretty easily with by a dent guy - probably cost you $40.

Sorry to hear about the absolute carnage. Door dings drive me to kill But like was said, there really isn't anything you can do. I figured that out myself a few years back, when a lady claimed I backed into her Rav 4 with my Z

I knew I didn't, obviously, but she wanted money... her bumper was already messed up from something, my back bumper had no marks. I called the police and asked what she could do: they said "nothing", because there wasn't a police report filed. Then her insurance kept calling me, and I denied it, and eventually, nothing happened.

i agree police around here anyway dont do sh*t about it. cant be proven could have been anybody. i ahd the samne thing happen and got it fixed out of pocket one without paint cost arouns $100 and the other needed paint and was 350 to blend the fender. i rarely ever park my car in a spot where it can be hit, even if it means walking a ways to the store etc.... and it still happenes it pisses me off as well

There is an EASY way to avoid this problem!!! When it comes to your Z there are only two places my baby goes:
(1) wherever I am driving

and when I stop...


(2) Into the driveway !!

To all Z owners...USE THE BEATER for everything but cruising!!!

Sorry Vince to hear about the ding. I feel your pain. Where did it happen?
Someone should organize a DENT DAY!! Last year they had one at Gruppe-S for $30 per dent removal.
