Joe,

Hate to suggest anything you may find unethical, immoral, or illegal,
but you could call your insurance agent and simply say, "It was this way
when I came out of the store."  Of course, this way your insurance takes
the hit.  No good deed goes unpunished, eh?

My van has been a target for hit-and-run drivers a couple times.
Inusrance covered it each time. Uhhh, yes.  It actually happened while I
was away.  Honest.
