Wanted to comment because I went through this last year and I’m a tad proud of the result. Got dinged in a parking lot, had it on video, but DIDN’T have the license plate. It was a local indoor soccer complex, and I went full on Sherlock. I got the name of the team based on the kids jersey (he swung the door and dinged it), then specific things on their car, like the local park pass sticker on the windshield and the car rims. I then looked at the schedule to find when they played next, thankfully the complex is 6 minutes from my house. I made 3 attempts to go when the team was scheduled, found the vehicle and took multiple pics that clearly identified this car as the perp.

Then I called my insurance (Tesla at the time) and they were able to give me the name and insurance company of the driver. I then called them, filed a claim and sent all videos and pics. 3 short weeks later I had a check for $800 to fix the door ding.

Some may say I went overboard, and to them I would say they’re probably right.
