Hello,
I cannot find the perpatrater, but my parked Kia was deeply
dented and I have no collision insuance. Would it be possable to
hammer out the dent and make the car presentable? How much good could
hundreds of dollars do instead of thousands?

Thanks

If the paint isn't broken, look into having a paintless dent removal guy
have a look at it.

Can you get to it from inside the trunk? Might be able to knock it back out
with a hammer and a 2x2.

With a four inch dent present, can you still fit a hammer into a Kia's
trunk?

If you can fit a bathroom toilet plunger over the dent, maybe you can
yank that dent out.
