Holy crap that happened in a parking lot? The car must have been going rather quick to do that kind of damage.

Wow! That seriously sucks. I hope you find out who did it from any videos they may have. It astounds me how people have absolutely no respect for other peoples property. Best of luck with the repairs

Given the reputation this car happens to have with fanatics of European vehicles, I wonder if this was intentional. It's rare to be struck with such force while parked in a lot.

Granted I don't know the lot configuration, or if you followed standard "Nice Car" protocol and parked out in the open.

Wow... Sorry to hear and see the damage to your F. Damage of that magnitude has to have caused a scene. There has to be witnesses someone. Someone must have seen something. Hopefully you'll get what you need from the security cameras. Good luck with the repairs. Keep us updated.

Sure you didn't lose control in the wet and hop a curb? That is a lot damage for a hit and run. Sorry to see it.

Any paint marks from the other car?

it almost looks like someone either backed in or front end and when they went in reverse it ripped the bumper clean off. It looks like there is no indention marks. I think if your replace the front bumper completely along with the drivers side headlight, it should be ok. The hood doesn't seemed to be out of line. Someone probably pulled to close when parking not realizing they were attached to the bumper, then when they left they pulled off your bumper.
