<prompt> Human: 2 days ago while i was in class my car was hit in my university parking lot. I didnt see it, but an amazing individual saw the whole thing and took pictures of damage and go the license plate number. They left me a note with their phone number for pictures and even put the time it happened. They called the university police and informed them, and when i saw the note after class I went to the Police office and filed a report. The officer told me unless the guy confesses to hitting me I cant do anything and it is left as a hit and skip. I honestly dont believe they tried to contact the man that hit me. There has to be something I can do about this right? I only have liability coverage so I cant make a claim to get my car fixed. Any advice from anyone? Im not sure if it makes a difference but I go to a state college in Ohio.Assistant: I had the exact same scenario happened to me a couple of years ago. Hit n run in the parking lot, witness got the guys license plate which I am very grateful for, called police, police talked to me, talked to the witness, got the license, ran a check and found where the vehicle was registered. He gave me a receipt of filing a police report, I couldnt remember the exact details but I think I was given the option to press charges since hit n run is a felony or settle like a normal accident. I believe his insurance actually contacted me regarding this accident and asked for a damage assessment from a shop, then sent someone out to inspect the damage, and then paid for 100 of the repair rental car. Human: Who gave you the option to press charges? The campus police dont care and told me to file a claim through my insurance  <response>: I called the actual police on their non-emergency number to file the report, OP have you tried filing a report with the city police? Maybe you can cross post this in rlegaladviceThe police verbally told me that I can press charges if I want, but it just wasnt worth the trouble since the guy had insurance and will pay for 100 of the repair, which is what i wouldve gotten had I pressed charges and go through a ton of more trouble and doing paperwork
