Have you ever been the victim of a hit and run?

Someone backed a truck into my husband’s SUV yesterday and did a decent amount of damage before driving off. A witness wrote down the other driver’s plate number and a description of the truck. This has never happened to either of us before, but it didn’t seem like the police had any interest in tracking down the other driver.

Have you ever been the victim of a hit and run? Was the other driver caught, and how long did it take? Did the police catch the person, or was he or she found through your insurance company?
