I told him good luck and he didn't need a ticket as far as I'm concerned and my truck would be just fine. Gave him my card if he needed a police report or other info and left. "That's what bumpers are for"

"Yes officer, he backed right into me. Said he would blame me, but I managed to talk him into giving me his card..."
Doubt it? Years ago a woman hit my car in a parking lot. She later reported it to the police as a hit-and-run. It didn’t matter that she said she'd cover the repairs and left me her name and number. It didn’t matter that the entire front clip of my car was pushed over a foot to the right. Or that she literally sheared the front 6" off my car. Or that I was in a parking spot. Or that my car was not running. Or that I was not even in the car.
Luckily, I was smart enough to get the name and number of a witness. It worked out fine, but was a PITA situation for a while…
Always, always, file a police report.
