Default Footprints all over the car.

Last night, my car was parked at a church and when I went to my car, there were footprints with dirt all over the car; on the hood, on the trunk, on the roof , and even on the rear glass. Some idiot climbed and stepped all over the car as a prank of some sort. Question - is the rear glass made to stand such pressure? also, it looks like two people were standing on the rear bumper (4 footprints), will this pressure have caused the bumper to break loose? Is the bumper secure enough to withstand such force? Thanks.

If your car is intact, then yes, it can (and did) withstand such forces/pressure.

Ooooh I would be livid if someone did that to my car. It sounds like your car is okay, but I would closely inspect it for minor damage (scraps, scratches, ect).

And when you think you got rid of the last one, another idiot reappears... haha
Hopefully the only damage to your car was the dirt and the footprints. Weird that this would happen at a church parking lot. It's sad that no one has any repsect for another individual's personal property anymore.
Good luck

Reminds me of one of the funiest and amazing things I've ever seen...
I was at a friends house helping with the build of a project car, we were taking a break and my friend let his dog out on the driveway. The dog was a very well trained chow that was shaved up like a Lion, it was hilarious becuase he really looked like a lion. Anyway, this African american gentelmen was walking down the sidewalk and as soon as the dog caught sight of him it was on, for some reason that dog never liked brown people. The guy took about two steps and leaped on to the roof of my car this jump rivaled Michael Jordan in speed and height. So this guy is standing on the roof of my car screaming at us to call off the lion. I really think he thought it was a lion. It was hilarious!
