When you hit an unattended vehicle, you are supposed to try and find the owner and if you can't, leave a note on the car. If you didn't leave a note, you could be guilty of a misdemeanor. However, if the damage is less than $250 and no one was hurt or killed, you don't have to report the accident to the police. If there is more than $250 in property damage, you will have to fill out a SR-13 report and send it in to the State. A Mobile Police Dept. spokesperson recommends that you also call the police and have an accident report made out. The report may be required by your insurance company.
