Its the old pontiac
can someone have any idea to determine that license number?
Were you in your car when the hit&run occurred? If not, Iām wondering how you can eve be sure that the Pontiac was the one who damaged your car?
no, see above photo. I have the footage from the near store and I have it with me. above is just a screen shot I took from the video. 100% sure that the silver pontiac is the guy
Thatās not true in ca. In ca it is treated as uninsured motorist claim and doesnāt affect your rates. Also not covered unless you have uninsured motorist coverage. Ask me how I know 
Even if they know who it is the OP will still have to pay the deductible and then wait for his insurance to go after the person thathit him to get it back. That is unless heās willing to wait 6 months to fix his car. I was hit by a person that ran a red light. It took 6 months to get my deductible refunded.

Do you ever have anything useful to say? Get a life or a girlfriend
I know because Iāve been hit twice by hit and run drivers. The 2nd time I had uninsured motorist coverage.
I have neither a life nor a girlfriend. I am an incel who lives in his momās basement. But I study on the interwebs

This is my favorite October 2019 feud 
.
Also the CCTV picture is of much better quality than I thought. Seems like someone with the right software could make the plate readable.
Regarding mods acting like children, ālikingā posts is just as I inflammatory as writing them. @michael
1997-2003 Pontiac Grand Prix, to be more precise.
I tried to throw the picture into a neural image network to try to extract some values but it looks like the footage is too-low of a resolution to accurately determine the license plate.

Oh nooā¦ but thank you for trying! I really appreciate it but guess its coming out from my pocketā¦ will be visiting the site once more to see any possible security camera that might have caught.
Just donāt want to spend any single penny on the things Iām not responsible on and seems like i have to pay 600 just for parking at a place where this idiot happen to be at
It will probably be impossible to enhance the still you took from the video. However, having the best quality original video file could be more helpful. Also, there are a few LEO forums or Photoshop forums that could be more helpful.

I live in DTLA also so Iāll keep a look out for any 1997-2003 Pontiac Grand Prix!
If you have the time or inclination, I guess you could also take a walk around the site at the same time as the incident as itās likely they travel through here regularly?
Whatās the estimated trade in value? Two cans of beer or three? There must be exactly ten of those left on the roads in LA?
Since about 1980, non-personalized white CA plates have always started with a # followed by 3 letters then 3 #s. And non-personalized plates go with the car, not the owner.
- Black plates ended in 1969 with ZZZ999. Blue plates started in 1969 with 000AAA and in 1980 after 999ZZZ, started 1AAA000 (assuming these initial numbers and letters were actually used). In 1986, blue plates were retired but numbering continued (~2DDD000 by then). We are currently in the 8s (~8MMM000) with the white plates (no idea how sequencing works on the newer black plates)
So if the Pontiac has original plates from 1997-2003, we are looking at a white plate starting with about 3Yxx### if 1997, through about 4Zxx### if 2003.
Of course, if plates were changed after transfer of ownership (for various reasons) then above not so useful. But even then, if you do decode the first number and letter, you MAY be able to target the last ownerās DMV registration month and Iāll bet there arenāt many silver Grand Prix with those first two letters out there-youād need a friend in DMV or Police for that.
And if this car has personalized plates fuggitaboutit. But then, youāll know EXACTLY who the owner is!
Hope this helps
How is it 2019 and cct images STILL donāt show license plates?? Iād rather have a grainy image I can read than one that looks sort of good until you try to read the plates.
To the OP, in ca this is an uninsured motorist claim. The last couple times it happened to me the claim didnāt affect my rates but I had to pay the deductible (assuming you have uninsured motorist coverage which is an absolute must in ca with all the illegal drivers and suspended license drivers)
