Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

Hit and Run on my buisness

$1300.00 worth of fence was taken out at my buisness buy a hit and run driver. The vehicle was left in our parking lot and was not reported stolen. According to papers found in the vehicle it was recently re-sold to someone other then the registered owner. Contact was made at the address of the new owners. The owners dad said the owner doesnt live here and doesnt have a permanent address and he doesnt know where he lives right now but does know that he just purchased a new car. The next day somebody claiming to be the owner of the car (but not listed on any paperwork recovered) contacted the CHP. This person claimed to be at a party down the street from the accident. He said he was actually siting in the vehicle earlier in the night, listening to the stereo, but went inside and passed out from being intoxicated and doesnt know what happened to his keys after that and does not know who wrecked his car. I have names and addresses of the registered owner and the person who was listed on the notice of transfer dmv paper work recovered at the scene. I do not have anything but a name of this new person who contacted the CHP claiming to be the owner. Who do I go after to recover my losses?
