Vallet parking accident!
The bumper still repairable, my bumper tabs cracks millions of times, the shop made me a special bracket to hold my bumper cover and the fenders. You can also buy a bumper quick release if you want the job done easier.
You may just have to eat up the cost of the deductible on this one... File a written formal complaint to the owner of the valet services and see if the company will take action.
Have a body shop check on the bumper and maybe they can salvage the bumper... You may need a brand new fender liner though.
Good luck... minor cosmetic damages can easily be fixed
It's just unfortunate that you were not responsible for damages

That is terrible. I can't believe valet companies and liars can get away with stuff like this. 
Too bad you can't ****** that $10 tip back from him. I wouldn't blame you if you never wanted anyone else to drive your car ever again. Hopefully you'll be able to get this fixed soon.

Damn... totally sux to hear...
If they still won't do anything about it, report them to Better Business Bureau and give them a crappy review on yelp. You may also want to hit up news stations since they have consumer advocates who love to report on this. Negative publicity is going to hurt... bring that up to the manger.
I always double check my car whenever some one drives my car such as valets, dealership or a bodyshop. The second you drive away, it's a lot harder to claim for damages.

I hate to see this. That really is terrible. I had the same thing happen to my car after hitting a tractor trailor tire cap on the highway. I took the tab that broke and superglued it back on and then took a soldering iron and meted the plastic at the seem back together. I have had it like this for months thinking it wouldn't last long but sure enough it has.
