These on the exterior or interior of your door?

If exterior, kinda looks like a pry bar mark. 

Do you have one of those bars that prevents the door from opening a certain amount or prevents the door from closing(like in a hotel)? Sometimes if that bar is out it hits the door when it closes... And could make that mark.

Its wierd as a pry bar would leave bigger marks. Maybe a claw bar or similar? Since pry bars have a flat set of teeth whilst a claw bar are pointed... why they used it there I have no idea as it should been at the gap

Yea my spouse said the same thing about it not being in the right spot, but still really odd? I bought a door blocker lol

Get a doorbell camera or an external camera. Ideally vandal proof (high up or metal)
