I was parked at the time so my cam didn't get anything. In fact, the business's security camera only caught a grainy shot of the asshat's license plate.
It was a POS altima actually, plenty banged up so he didn't care. Besides, based on the recording, he was too busy chatting on his phone to worry about things like looking before backing up.

I hate to generalize, and maybe the guy just overlooked the distance if he was talking on the phone, but I've also seen people who do things like that on purpose. They drive crap and they are jealous of anyone who doesn't and has enough money to buy a new ride. I worked as a deputy sheriff for over 20 years. I've seen a few in my time.
Which brings up a dilemma. In the past, I used to prefer parallel parking spaces because I didn't want my doors dinged. Now with all the sensors in stuff in the bumper, I'm not too eager to park that way. Damned if you do and damned if you don't.
Sorry. Very sorry.![[}(]](/images/smilies/mad.gif "Mad [}(]")

I will get a copy if I need to, but I have uninsured scumbag coverage, so I don't know if I need it yet. Also not sure if I will need to file or just pay out of pocket.
He hit it hard, hard enough to make it lurch forward sickeningly, but there are no dents or misalignments. That's a testament to how well built this car is and safe it should (hopefully) be in a collision.

I'm sorry to see this man....Know exactly the feeling. to be honest, it doesn't look bad, the bumper did its job and the best thing is it didn't crack (at least not from the pictures) so, having repaired much heavier and worst damage, that literally will buff out.
Now the rattling issue could be due to the bumper bending with the impact and making the exhaust tips, which are attached to the bumper and not the exhaust itself, probably became unattached from its mounting points.

FINALLY got her dropped off for repairs; between moving and work I've had to delay getting it looked at/repaired.
Here's the estimate I found today in my portal; I'm sure it will go up once they get in there and start tearing it apart:
