Sat in the car in Sainsbury's car park today, car reverses into me and gives the car a hefty mark/scratch right along the rear of the car pretty much end to end.

I'm guessing she was about to drive off, but stopped when she saw me getting out of the car. Refused to give any details whatsoever so I did the only sensible thing I could think of and photographed everything (her, her car, the damage etc). Unfortunately no witnesses.

What's the best course of action and am I likely to get anywhere with it? Only advice I can find is to report it at the police station, but I can't get there for days.

Thanks everyone. I forgot to mention that she thought 'it wasn't a problem as my car was old' (2008 Focus!) Cleaned it this evening and the damage is actually quite minor, surprised by that as it looked really scratched up, if it wasn't for her appalling attitude I might have let it go.

Her bumper was a state, came off quite badly given the relative lack of damage to mine.
