So as I'm washing the car today, I notice a dent on the passenger side front fender. I'm looking around for paint left by the other car when they hit me. I found nothing. No paint gone, no paint left by the other car. So I think to myself, "How could have this happened?" Then I remembered that my brother has the exact same dent in the exact same spot on his STi. In both cases we concluded that someone had punched in the fender. I can't believe people would do that. They see a nice car and think to themselves "Hmmm, because I'm a dumbass and I don't have a nice car or vehicle at all, I'm going to go around town and punch in fenders of other people's cars." What is wrong with these people?

Can you take a pic of the dent? Don't mess with it. If the paint is not cracked it's most likely self-repairable.

Ya don't u heat it up then pour cold water on it? Could be the other way around
Depends on the type of dent, material (metal/plastic) and location. They can be simple if approached the correct way.
