On bikes with security systems now-a-days, the siren is an optional add on, just the lights would have flashed if he doesn't have the siren

I'm with you on this one. Usually I can find a spot on the side walk with 3 or 4 other bikes. Even had a store manager ask me to move it to a better more secure spot in front of the store!

OP - Sorry to hear of your troubles, inconsiderate drivers do indeed SUCK!!
For the rest - it won't be a collision claim on his insurance unless he has proof that it was indeed a collision. Usually a police report filed in a timely manner will suffice. But since he doesn't know exactly when it happened, and doesn't have any info about the other vehicle, it will be tough to get a "collision" claim out of it. Hit-and-run??? maybe.
How does the insurance company know that he didn't accidentally hit it with the weedeater?

People in Seattle are weird. Weirdest place, as far as people go, that I've lived so far. Beautiful though.

My friend hit my saddlebag when my rk was new, damaged it pretty bad, I brought it to a good body shop and they fixed it up relatively cheap and did a good job, you probably only need a pint of HD paint, and the shop should have clear coat....the light is relatively cheap, yes it sucks but **** happens and people suck but you just gotta move on sometimes.

Happened to me years ago. Insurance agent said "no witnesses, we don't know what happened, if it was another vehicle or something else" Since I have $500 deductible Collision and $200 deductible comp, he wrote it up as "unknown cause of damage when vehicle left unattended in marked parking space".
