This was my initial intent, but the security personnel I spoke to asked me to give them some time to talk to the owner about it.

I know exactly what you mean, but jeopardizing my job over a front bumper didn't seem worth it.

Believe me, today I was going to take matters into my own hands. I couldn't bare to sit at my desk while nothing was being done.

Haha! That would have been awesome, unfortunately it was a middle aged Indian man.

Anyway, this morning I spoke to the security guy and he informed me he had located the owner and he would speak to him. In the end he admitted it was his fault. We exchanged insurance info and he seemed like a nice person and was genuinely apologetic. I'm not sure why it took him this long to respond, but we made progress. But I won't be satisfied until I receive a check or a confirmation from his insurance company that they are going to pay for the repairs. I've had this happen to me in the past; where another guy admitted fault but later I found out he told his insurance company I hit him. With no pictures or witnesses it was his word against mine, and I ended paying for my own repairs.
