Default Got hit while parked

A teen with no license side swiped me along with 2 other cars. I think his front wheel hit my rim then climbed up and bounced away then proceeded to hit the 2 parked cars in front of me. luckily I was near by and caught him. I seriously wanted to beat the *** out of him.
How bad does it look?
You can tell from the last pic that my car got bumped up the curb and moved the car by about 3 feet, ruining both wheels on the right, I hope there's no damage to the chassis.

Wowwwwwwwwww. I hate to see that, brutal. Probably won't buff out.

Cops came I assume? where are the kid's parents? I'm pretty sure they have to get involved if the kid's a minor. Keep us posted.

I'd be effing furious too. Make sure they pay for everything and please tell me you called the cops so if anything happens you can take legal action against the idiot

Wow. The pic's so huge I could only see the top when I read your description, then scrolled down and saw the damage. Very sorry to see.

What was the aftermath? Did you call the cops, etc? I very much hope you got a police report.

Wouldn't think it'd be totaled by any means, but that's be quite a bit of work and quite a chunk of change. I can't see what state you're from, but be sure to look into filing a claim for diminished value.

Yeah, the cops came and filed a report, and I'm in the process of filing a claim.

Dude sorry for your bad luck. I don't know if I would be as calm as you. I was ticked off today cuz i thought this lady dinged my door but she didn't. I would probably have a mental breakdown if what just happened to you happened to my car. Keep us posted.......

Damn... that totally sux to hear. Sorry about the car man..

I hope you called the cops, that guy/girl needs to be punished for the stupidity.

The damage looks very bad... it also looks like the chassis maybe messed up, rear axle is screwed, and frame damage. Might be a total loss too...

I see that you have to jack your car up just to level it...

His skull would have been against the floor if that happened to me.
