How much to pay for this scratch?

My ML350 parked in front of my house. It was scratched by somebody's car this morning. We couldn't find who did it. How much the scratch will be cost? Should I ask the insurance to cover the repair

Yep, around $1k I would say. What is your insurance deductible?

Fortunately, I found my neighbor's car did. He gave me his insurance information. I will ask my insurance to contact his insurance company.
Actually, I don't know how he did. I left quite long distance for his parking.

Drunk or texting/reading the phone? Maybe he is not proficient in motor vehicle operation?

I guess he lost his mind or did something else. I've seen him park without a problem before.

The state farm will pay $1263 for the repair. It's a long time to wait for their estimate.
