As I said, my first thought, however there are no scuff marks on the lens, and hitting it with anything should also see the bodywork also damaged. There might not be scratches, but the bodywork should have suffered some damage at least.

From VW's point of view, this is a very easy one to dismiss given that you would have to have a video of the crack actually happening to prove otherwise, even if you never park in an area where a strike was likely to happen.
