When that happened to my previous car, I just got some screwdriver I had handy and scraped it off as much as I could when it cooled down. Just remember to RUN OVER bags next time to avoid that from happening again.

Try a heat gun...happened to my stainless steel toaster too left a plastic bag on top...when I realize the bag had melted it was already stuck and cold. I just warmed the toaster oven and used hot soapy water and a rag and removed it...Or you can just let it be and it will burn off by it self.
