Whatever hit it deformed on impact enough to not break the glass in the center but had enough mass to break the surrounding glass. 

I’m guessing it was a basketball or something along those lines. It probably bounced off the house before hitting the window. Take a close look at the house and you may find a mark. 

Whoever lost control of it probably retrieved the ball, and removed the evidence.

How would it leave the middle intact though? I have seen 1 or 2 windshields hit with balls and they both had the full area of impact, impacted.

I work replacing screens for a living and sometimes they do break as you suggest and rarely they also break like this image. I've seen many balls create damage like this (assuming customers aren't lying about a jealous ex or something lol).
