Audi gets hit while parked in front of house

While drying off the kids from their bath around 8pm, I thought I heard a car crash out on the big street adjacent to ours.  Half a minute later, I heard an engine rev and tires squeal on our street and another crash sound.  I went outside to check things out and check on the Audi to unfortunately find that it had been struck on the corner and the rear tire toed in.  Police cars were quick to respond and were yelling at someone to "Get down on the ground!".  There was a hesterical girl near the incident as well.

From all we've heard that night from the officers as well as some info from our neighbor who is a district attorney, the driver peeled away from a house on a nearby street, intixicated to the tune of a 0.23, and immediately crashed out on the bigger street.  From there, he went up onto someones yard, backed up, floored it with squealing tires into my car, down the block missing everything else until he went up onto someone elses yard breaking off one of his front suspension and skidding to a stop.  The hysterical girl we believe was a girlfriend related to the driver.  The cops said there was no lengthy pursuit and just happened to be in the area.

The stinker of it all is that because the suspension got hit, that pushed the damaged to over $7k leading the insurance company to say that the car is a total loss which is pretty hard to wrap your head around when you look at the photo.  I had just fixed many annoyances and done the 90k mile timing belt/water pump service having committed to keeping the car until it died.  I'm now driving our '97 Ford Escort that has been my at-work car until I figure out what to do with the $9k check I got for the car.  Lame.
