The overall growth looks like a ficus. But closer pictures are needed. However, it is not bonsai. I know a few people on this forum who can explain this fact a lot better than I. But closer pictures are needed.

If it is Ficus and it could be and it is cold where you are then frost could have done a lot of damage. It is a plant in a plastic pot and no semblanvs of bonsai

This is indeed a ficus.
Currently it is not a bonsai, but there are several route one cour take to turn this into a bonsai. I would have grabbed it too.

Ficus is surprisingly forgiving. Considering there are still eaves on it, you could get it back to health. After that you have to decide whether you would like a raft styl or a much smaller broom / (in)formal upright

Well that's great information from everyone I won't give up on the Tree/not a Bonsai but I am looking for a Bonsai person to nurture it back to some semblance of a Bonsai/tree/ficus .So if anyone lives locally and wants the nursing job it's yours..free..

thanks
