In Pennsylvania, your car bumps a parked vehicle, causing minor damage, and you cannot track down its owner. What does the law require?

Answer options

Why

Pennsylvania requires two steps when you damage an unattended vehicle and cannot reach its owner: securely leave a written note with your information on that vehicle, and promptly notify the police. Doing only one of them does not satisfy the law.
