Seriously, call your insurance and tell them about the lazy cop and you gonna have to drive this car the way it is. They ain't gonna let that happen for safety reasons, you could file an even larger claim later if you have full coverage. And, they don't wanna pay for your shit, so they will find the Escalade, trust me. My wifes sister used to sell insurance here in town, she said that their adjusters/fraud workers > police anyday in claims handling and driver info. They will fix your car on your uninsured motorist since you got a report, then they will sue the other driver.
