Could I have possibly scratched someone else's car?

Hi,

Just a while ago, I was going in a very small parking lot. The parking spaces were really tiny, like those ones that you usually around Asian restaurants. So, I was trying to enter a space, but I couldn’t, so I decided to back out. When I was backing up, I accidentally came in contact with the car at my right. I only noticed a little brief contact, so I didn’t think much. When I got ready to leave 40 minutes later, when I walked around the parking lot, I realized that there was a little dent, or rather, a small black line on the other car.

I then checked my car and found no visible scratch or damage on my car. Nothing at all. The other car’s height was two times higher than mine’s, and my car’s top only reach to about the bottom part of its windows. The dented line that I saw on the other car was somewhat higher than that. The part that came in contact was around my car’s side mirror. There seems to be way it was possible for my car to cause that scratch. I didn’t see any other damage on the other car or on mine, either. The parking lot was empty, I thought that was probably there before, so I just left.

Now that I think about it, is it possible for me to cause that dent? I don’t know for sure, but I have to do the right thing. Are there cameras in the parking lot? It’s small Asian plaza full of restaurants. If I somehow was responsible, can the owner take his car to the police and track me down? Maybe they can use technology to trace down the paint, DNA, or whatever that could lead to me.
