So what was it doing in my loft then?

It's where you put things you don't want to throw out but have no

And when the garage is full?

Got admit if I found a lump of steel like that it wouldn't be thrown
away. All manner of uses, weight for pressing flowers, load spreader
under a jack, cover for a broken gully...
