More details to this question:
my empty cart rolled down hill in parking lot and hit a car parked car creating a dent. I returned to the store and had the make,model and license number announced twice for the owner to come forward with no results. So I left a note on the windshield for owner to call me. She suggested she would file with her auto insurance, I could pay the deductible and all would be well. I received a certified letter today from her directing me to pay the repair shop directly as she had decided not to file with her auto insurance company because she didn't want it on her insurance record. what are my options?

I am not sure you can make her file a claim with her insurance company. It would appear that your choice is to pay the repair shop directly or determine whether you personally have any type of insurance coverage that would apply to this type of claim (e.g. auto, umbrella, etc.). Also, check with the grocery store to find out if it has any type of insurance coverage that would cover you for damaging a vehicle with their grocery cart. Good luck with this matter.
