Those are actually fairly common and not at all a "strange piece of concrete".
I've seen this exact thing many times. Comes with age and experience.
This is day one dad stuff.

Oh that makes no sense at all. These…
…are not tall enough to cause that damage. And even if they were, they’d cause a more symmetrical indentation, left to right, than what we’ve got here.
Seems pretty clear to me that something VERY rounded and fairly narrow (like, as Gilles suggests, the ball of a trailer hitch) pushed into this. And if it happened to be a hitch mounted on a pickup being backed in at an angle, it might potentially even explain the two deep scratches at the level above the top of the rear license plate.
I’ve got “dad status” as well, and I wouldn’t have charged my kids (back when they were kids, just starting to drive) with responsibility for this. Not based on the evidence at hand here.
