Private security can only file what's called an incident report, which is used only for the mall's records and is not eligible for insurance purposes. Only a police report is considered the proper documentation for that sort of thing because that's where you can report the estimated cost of damage and acquire the case number that your insurance company needs. The Palo Alto police dispatcher that you spoke with must have been mistaken because officers are sent to mall properties all the time for hit and run damage reports. I'm sorry for your experience and that this information was not explained to you properly at the time of the incident. Just an FYI: That’s on the Palo Alto police department, not the mall security.
