Gutted for you.
Hope the cops turned up and slapped the cuffs on them.

If they aren't insured go through the MIB for a claim.

Real sorry to hear that, but glad you're OK. Could have been worse. Good luck getting it sorted.

Hope insurance works out OK.
Only bright side is that it will come back "as new". Bad news is the waiting/worrying time

Hardwood door fell on wing of mine in my garage - right on the wing creases
Came back as new - well pleased.
