Someone hit my parked car

I have evidence on video of a neighbor hitting my car in the right rear side (it was parked head in) and severely damaging it. Luckily my landlord was able to send me a clip. How do I go about this? I haven't called my insurance company just yet because I don't want them to get involved and raise my rates even though I was not at fault. I left the neighbor a note stating that I have evidence that they did a hit and run on my car and i have their tag #. How much could I get in small claims from them? Should I try and settle out of court instead? Please help!
