The rear of the car has to be pulled up higher than the front to even dislodge the front from the boulders where it is resting..... Rear towhooks may not be accessible and even then, I'm not sure about safety of pulling a car 70 degrees up from horizontal with the J hooks if they could fit in....
I can 100% gaurantee I would have done a much better job of extracting that car if I wanted to.

The other guys are probably right however about the kids just wanting that car out of there in a big hurry. In todays society, you have to: Worry about getting sued by the property owner for rutting his property. Worry about the environuts calling the EPA to clean up a quart of oil. Worry about PETA being concerned that a field mouse might lick some spilled anti-freeze. Worry about the cops making a federal crime over it.
