I ended up creating an ICBC file over the phone and leaving my info on the struck car as a witness. Different cities have different protocols, but if I am not mistaken, that's VPD's. Just to be sure, you can try calling them at 604-717-3321.
From the pictures, it looks as if the tire is rubbing the fender. If it's not driveable, tell ICBC and they'll arrange to have it towed to be estimated. Do not try and fix any damage yourself. Next step is to ask your neighbours around you if they have surveillance cameras to see if they could capture anything. If they're not home, maybe a note in the mailbox "Hi I'm Bob Smith from 123 Main street, my car was hit & ran, if you have cameras and can see who did it, call 604-123-4567" like that.
If somebody has surveillance, and it's clear enough to identify a plate or anything, inform ICBC and get them the footage. If not, looks like you're out the deductible, sadly.
I really hope that somebody can step up and admit to it, or be a witness. But sadly in the event they cannot, you'll have to pay out of pocket the deductible to have it repaired.
Best of luck!

I figured so about VPD. I haven't moved the car or altered anything, only picked up a ~8 inch piece of my wheel (ouch) from the ground and placed it under the car. Don't want anyone driving over that.
I've already asked around the neighbouring houses. My landlord's surveillance camera only overlooks our front yard. The one next door has a clear view of the entire street but broke recently (just my luck).
I really hope someone steps forward or there really isn't good karma. I've seen multiple accidents unfold before me and have always approached the victims offering my contact information should they need me as a witness. Yet when my car is involved not a single soul was in sight.
