What’s this and how did it get to my front door?

[Robstersgirl]

Come home from work to find this stone thingy next to my front door. Looks like a drain cover but all of mine are metal? Does anyone know what it is? Could it be from the roof? AIBU to think it was aliens or burglars? It says Marley on it but googling Marley Covers just yields results for people covering Bob Marley songs.

Has it been windy lately? Anybody nearby having building work done?

Also asked my DH, he's a builder - it's a concrete roof tile so probably would have smashed if it fell off, unless it hit a bush to break it's fall or landed on grass.

@Robstersgirl and @DorotheaHam : Do you live in the same location?
Has the roof tile fairy been seen around town recently?
Or a scrap dealer with an overladen, open truck?

Amazon?

How big is it?

It’s a roof tile. I’d surprised that it didn’t smash if it fell off the roof.

That's a Marley Wessex roof tile

Also I would move it ASAP sometimes burglars place items by houses so they know which one to target etc. They did it with dogs around my area a few years back people were finding little X's on their fence and linked them both together when peoples dogs were being taken

It's a roof tile, surely?

if it fell off your roof and into your neighbours garden, and landed on their head, or grass, or soft soil or vegetation, it might not break and they might have put it over the wall for you.

It's obviously from an Aliens spaceship

It's a roofing tile

Is it huge or is the pic just making it look huge?

@PigletJohn im pretty sure she would have a dead neighbour on her path though surely?

@Kn0ckOnTheDoor
Zombie neighbour. This situation just keeps getting worse for the OP.
Ts & Ps.

Looks like a piece of masonry

if the houses in your street have the same tiles a neighbour having a roof replaced could have gifted the neighbours a spare tile?

Is it small like a roof tile? The image makes it look huge.

What chesnuts said, if that fell of the roof it would surely smash?
My guess is someone’s put it there by mistake?

That looks massive!

It’s the back of a fireplace been dumped

Roofer DH says its a roof tile

I'm in the North West. Checked mine this morning and it's also a Marley one. Very strange. It doesn't match any roofs nearby and it's not really close to the house. It would have to fly off and over by a few metres to land where it did.

Scrap van dropping it seems more likely. Though I will move it now given the post above about marking houses!
