So today at the grocery store, some guys in his truck hit my truck when he was backing up, and I was trying to park in reverse. My dash cam caught everything, I proceeded to park in my parking spot after he moved his car forward again, and went outside to assess if I had any damage and talk to the driver. The driver just upped and left. I have a couple very minor scratches that can probably just get buffed off, but the thing that pissed me off is that he just left without saying anything. Should I contact my insurance or anything for a minor scratch like this? Or just leave it alone?
Thank you.

Damages are likely under your collision deductible if you even have that coverage. If that’s the case your insurance can’t do anything so there’s no point in having a claim on your record for zero benefit to you.
Make a police report. The moment they ran it became a felony
If you want the damages fixed and it’s under your deductible, you should file a police report of the accident and get the other vehicles insurance info from the police. Then call them to file a claim.
