call the police, may have details of if anything happened that night.
Otherwise if your fully comp then will have to claim off that!

not unless you want them to look into it, find that wasnt what happened and do you for insurance fraud

buy a shit car off ebay, for silly cheap, get some one who has a license but doesnt drive to insure it with monthly payments and get them to crash into you.
Dont do this rely it wont be a very popular idea and probably illigal

if its normally parked on the driveway then it wont be a problem. It wont always be where you say it will be at night (what if your away somewhere, etc. etc.)

If you are claiming you were hit and run the insurance will almost definitely want some sort of reference number from the police.
