Bum deal, but hopefully nobody was hurt!
Vandalism has nothing to do with a hit n run claim. First the insurance company will cover it under uninsured/underinsured motorist or collision coverage. To say it won't count against you is not a correct statement either. Insurance companies are starting to classify hit n' run or hit while parked claims as partially uninsured motorist and partially collision so they pay out under both coverages. This causes alot of issues if you are shopping your insurance because most insurance companies are going to access a surcharge for an At Fault accident because of the collision payout. It is very difficult to prove a collision payout is not at fault as collision is automatically classified as an at fault loss. I have been an insurance agent for 11 years, please do not post information if you are not entirely sure that you are correct.

∙ 15y agoIf the owner of the parked vehicle cannot be located, you should leave your contact information in a brief note on the car you hit.
You should also report the accident A.S.A.P. to the local police station and provide them with your details in case the person doesn't get your note and files a hit and run complaint. This will protect you from any chance of being accused of leaving the scene.
