I don't know - this is just a guess, but I'm thinking you're not going to find a bunch of people whose bumpers have fallen off. 
And since this is your first post, you're going to be met with some degree of skepticism. Just warning you.

it fell off in one piece, not torn or anything? front or rear?
the bumper (front and back) is held on to the car through a lot of clips and tons of screws, both at the top and at the bottom. some of the screws are even sort of "hidden". it's not an easy object to just fall off the car. i would look at all the locations where there are supposed to be screws and see if they are torn or not.
doesn't sound right

That is odd for a bumper to fall offUnless someone was in the process of removing (stealing)the bumper and removed all the clips and you happened to buy that car is the only thing i can come up with.

Bumper fell off? Sorry, but that's a little too much to swallow.
