Surely you can either claim against the other party's insurer, or if they consider it to have been stolen, can make a claim via the MIB scheme here:

The fact the '8 isn't insured fully comp will actually work to his advantage in this case as MIB won't, I believe, pay out if your own insurance would cover the cost.
He has nothing to lose and he should report the damage to his insurer as it's a material fact. There may well be a record of it via police or insurer database so best to be up front, otherwise he may have future insurance cancelled.
