Some jerks threw a trolley of a bridge... Hit my parked car.

[Rolkus]

In short, just curious to who is liable?

I parked overnight near a small bridge in Wyndham Vale.

Overnight, some (pure speculation) ******* decided to throw a trolley off the bridge. It landed in the bark near my car and fell on to my car.

It damaged the driver side rear-door and wheel-arch.

I've contacted Woolworths and informed them, and told they'll get back to me before Monday, but I expect little support from them as it didn't happen in the carpark.

My issue is in 2 weeks, I am trading it in towards my XR6T. Should I get it fixed before hand, or just trade it in with damage. I've gotten a quote for $500 to fix the damage, but it's $700 excess if done through insurance (no loss of rating, thanks AAMI). But stuff me, I didn't do anything wrong and I'm still stung with a $500 bill.

I've attached pictures, but they're pretty bad due to the phone, and the immediate rage I went through when I saw what had happened, I was probably shaking a bit.
