Ha, Just remembered my own getting away scot-free incident:

When leaving a friend's place after supper, I backed out my car and hit their truck parked on the driveway.

They were seeing me off at the door and watched it in horror. Their young son cried out: That's my dad's new truck!

I felt so bad and didn't know what to say nor what to do.

Friend's husband said: just give me your insurance paper, I will handle it, not to worry.

I did that and left with sorrow, had no idea what will happen afterwards.

But nothing happened, no police call, no insurance change, and we remained friends till I left Ottawa.
