WOW! This really looks familiar... 
The demage to your car is almost identical to mine, as are the circumstances under which it happened! Your damage looks to be a bit worse than mine, though. I hope it gets fixed soon and to your satisfaction.

How old are you? This sounds like something a teenager would do or say. If I believed in karma (I don't), then I would say that anyone who would beat the hell out of a rental just because he could deserves the misfortune that warranted the rental in the first place.

The same thing happened to my friends first gen IS300 4 years ago parked in Chicago over night. It was $13,000 damage hit and run and took a month to fix. I would try to visit some body shops and see if cars come in with consistent damage (leave your name and number). Also, maybe post some pics of your car in a local grocery store and ask people for information on the possible culprit. I have a feeling, it was someone who lives close by and was possibly drinking or fatigue. The car is probbaly in their garage now and they need to get it fixed soon. You will find this person with persistance.

Sorry to hear about your hit-and-run incident. I hope they trace that tow and nail that son of a b#@ch!

A video would be the only thing that would allow you to take any kind of legal action. Not only that, you would have to get some sort of distinctive ID off the other vehicle (like a plate number) to proceed. Having gone through this myself recently, I'm sad to say it's the unfortunate reality of the situation. As for the insurance, I also had to pay the deductible, although mine wasn't nearly that high, thank goodness.
