The club has surveillance camera and the staff made arrangement for me to review the video with them tomorrow morning.
If I manage to get the license plate of the person responsible for his inconsiderate act, what should I do?

Contact the police and your insurance, this is considered a hit and run. Someone side swipped my old MDX at the school I went to, AND they stayed parked right beside me AND they still tried to deny it! I took pictures of their car next to my car with both license plates and I got the surveillance video showing that my car was there first so I could have not hit her. My insurance company went after hers and got me about 1.3k for repainting the front fender. Instead I took the money, sold the MDX for a 2k profit over what I paid even with the scratch, and then I bought the RL.

BTW I play the game of fucking over whoever scratches my car and doesn't own up.

Has happened two times and I have won boths times.
Also I would be very doubtful you will get more than a glimpse of who hit your car. The surveillance video I had received was black & weight and was 640x480 resolution. I wish you the best of luck though and hopefully they have some newer 720p color security cameras. Even a partial match (2 letters) is good because they can use the vehicle type/make/model to narrow it to one person or a couple persons.

The authorities may or may not care. Your insurance, however, will. If you can get them a plate #, they should do all the work if they are worth a damn.

Sorry this happened. Nothing makes me madder than having this occur, or hearing of it happening to someone else. Some jerk in a giant SUV backed into the front of my wife's car at a hotel lot a few years ago. Buckled the hood up, just missed trashing the radiator. The hotel people were no help at all, either in checking their records of who checked out early that morning (you usually must give your plate # when you register) or with video surveillance. The damage was 3K.
My lessons learned were 1) no more stays at this hotel; 2) never park close to any giant SUVs, especially parallel parking behind one. It's the second time one of these behemoths has punched out a parked car I own.

Call the police to report the hit and run, anyway. They should come take a report, ask the facility manager about their video again (don't tell them it's "broken", let the cops ask) and give you a report your insurer will want.

Go back each day and look for this silver SUV, then call the police when you find it and see if you can find the scratch on their vehicle, also talk to your insurance company, depending on your coverage they should take care of it.

^Good points. If you have comprehensive coverage, open a claim with your insurance. Insurance companies do no like to pay for anything. They would rather find out what happened than pay to fix this.
In any case, the most you could pay is your deductible.
