Hi,

Recently my girlfriend was backed into in a parking lot by a guy. The damages were minor but there were some scratches on her bumper. The guy said he would fix it himself because he is a painter. We got his name, number, insurance name, and policy number. In addition I took pictures of his license plates. We also got information of some witnesses who saw it. We told him we would call him after the Christmas break. Yesterday my girlfriend tried calling him and the number was not his. In addition, his name does not appear in the phone book. I tried to find his insurance company (he said it was AON insurance) but couldn't find contact numbers for them. Unfortunately my girlfriend didn't ask to see the insurance cards and he just read her the information, the same with his drivers license. I wasn't with her when she was getting this information so I didn't know she just took his word on this information. It looks like the only way we are going to track this guy down is through his plates (if they are valid). We called the police but they said they don't investigate traffic accidents and said to call our insurance company. Her insurance company will tack the plates if we file a claim, but if the plates aren't his then she gets stuck with the claim and her rates will go up. What is our best option to track this guy? Is there a free way to track a license plate to the owner of a vehicle?

Thanks
