More details to this question:
I parked my car, walked to my friend’s apartment and I heard a crash. I walked back to see what happened. My passenger had put the car in gear and the car rolled (unsure if she started the car). She insisted that we leave.

You should call a lawyer and have him/her be a go-between between you and the police, who will come looking for the registered owner of the car.

If you hit something, you must report it to the police. Since it's your car you will be held responsible. You can take your friend to small claims if she refuses to repay you.
