Wow that really sucks I feel your pain too mine was backed into like a month after I put a new bumper on. But I saw the guy do it, so I got lucky and he paid for it. Taking pictures is a great idea, because ever since that happened I've been paranoid about parking anywhere.

Thanks you, beleive it or not i do not have all too much money in the truck, you will save a ton if you do things yourself.
Btw, managed to cut the flares so they dont rub anymore. Should do for the time being...
Update: Wow, ive had the truck for only 2 days and already theres been a minor hit and run on it from someplace I had it parked. Didnt notice until last evening. About a 1.5" diameter dent with a 1" long by 3/8" wide scar right through the paint. Bottom of passenger door. Looks like its a steel bumper corner or something else that did it because its an akward location. Needless to say...not happy. Will post pics tonight/tommorow..
Right now ive started taking liscence plate #s and pics of whos parked beside me...if theres no open corner of a lot to park it in
