I would recommend burning it off, assuming that your car has been Zainoed.

I'm guessing that a simple wash with a bit more car wash concentrate than usual would be more than enough to take it off- perhaps let it soak for a couple of minutes before re-soaping. If it's really ground in there, a little WD40 will kill the stickiness of gum instantly and then you can simply repolish the areas where it was removed in order to protect the finish.

Good luck. And find the bastard who did it.

Bug and Tar Remover may work, but if not, Goof-Off almost definitely will. But as always, try it on an inconspicuous place first. You'll obviously need to wax the area afterwards.
