no damage to the front end or the back of the car. damage appears to be just to roof and windshield.

I have my theory but thought I'd toss it out there for some fun.

If there was a sit mark on the hood, I'd say; Moose. Otherwise, ***-end of an 18 wheeler trailer

Default not feeling the Semi idea the hood would have some damage..

but if something was suspended behind the Semi like some timber I could see it..

Default Hitting a fallen tree after sliding down a ditch, maybe?

That's what happened to friend of mine's son with his 4000.

The tree ended up inches above his head and he walked away with no injuries.

or working out some aggression.

Default Ahh, the forklift looks about right.

The roof definitely looks like it was pulled up. Plus, the mark on the top of the roof is consistent with the width/shape of a forklift fork. Right on!

Probably a very large object hit the car at speed, the wind buckled the top.

Default That's how they picked it up. Fork lift through the windshield

would be my guess
