MJ, did you check if mall security has cameras in the parking lot? Maybe they picked something up on video, so you can track down the person that hit and run the car?

That freaking sucks.

I would buy it! I can't stand leaving my car in any parking lot, especially if I'm not able to park away from all the cars...

Yup, it's covered under comprehensive I believe. I only have a $100 deductible, hopefully yours is no more than $500.
