Wow... thanks for the support and useful information everyone. And also, thank you for assuming I'm a male and was drunk, lol.
Experience has shown us that the vast majority of these types of incidents involve males and these males are generally covering up for alcohol related crashes.

Guess you're all kind of implying that men are more inclined to be drunken idiots who get behind the wheel.
In the scenario you posited, yes.

I left out several pieces to the story to stay brief. One of them was the fact that I had just bought this car, which is a manual, one I'm unfamiliar with. Another piece was the fact that I had walked back and forth to my car to check on it several times while I was, in fact, on hold with my insurance. And yes, I do have phone records that prove that.
Ah, how very helpful to withhold such key pieces of information which could very well make the difference between hit-and-run or not.

So, if you have phone records to back up your claim and you attempted to contact a property owner and/or the police, you should be fine. No attempt to contact the property owner or the police, you may not be so fine.
