Found a hole in my siding a foot or so off the ground. Thought wtf could have caused that? Felt around in it and noticed that black tip sticking out. (In the picture it’s pulled out a little than it was originally) Took quite a bit to yank it out but uh, yeah, what’s this? Granted I do live in an apartment complex but our grounds keepers haven’t been around because winter. No damage inside

Looks like someone might have thrown something at it?

what material is it made out of? is it plastic or metal? If I had to guess based on shape its part of a shield for a rotating element, but WHAT element, I can’t guess... does that side of the building face the road?

The plastic weighs next to nothing so it definitely needed some force to break through the siding. It was really wedged in there.

Part of me is thinking a lawnmower or weedwacker shroud

Maybe like the guard on a weed Wacker or some yard equipment?

That’s what I would have thought as well.

Still weird that it smashed that siding.

At first I thought it could be part of a string trimmer head, but it looks too big. My guess is some sort of plant pot or porch decoration that got run over by a lawnmower and shot out into the siding last time the grounds crew was out.

Flimsy plastic. It faces the sidewalk so it would potentially be affected by our lawn crew. I’ll investigate with our leasing office to see when they last came through.

Snapped off blade of a snow blower?

How it got lodged in the wall is anyone’s guess though.

Kids?

Maybe someone was spinning their wheels at 8000rpm and ran it over?

Iuno, all around.

I’m thinking the lawn crew ran it over with a lawnmower, especially since where you found it wasn’t that high off the ground.

yeah, i’m gonna go for lawn equipment, or at least lawn-equipment-accelerated on this. Excellent use of Joking Hazard for scale ;)

Do you get snow? Might have been something picked up and thrown by a blower.
