**Item #:** SCP-8587

**Object Class:** Safe

**Special Containment Procedures:** SCP-8587 is to be left at its original location. Any attempt to displace SCP-8587 will be met with no resistance from personnel and is actively encouraged.

**Description:** SCP-8587 is a rusted two-step folding ladder resting in the backyard of a home residence in ███████, Quebec. The object is unable to be moved, but still experiences physical effects of the environment such as water damage, cuts, and lost screws. Its legs remain mostly unharmed as it has not left its original spot. 

**Discovery:** SCP-8587 appeared in the home's backyard during winter of 2020. The residents -- a nuclear family of 6 -- had not noticed the anomaly until spring of the same year, where it was assumed they had just left it there by accident. SCP-8587 was left in this area until 2025 -- where after a myriad of storms had hit the town, it was noted to have not been taken away by the wind like the objects around it.

The people living there attempted to move SCP-8587 themselves, but failed. They spoke about the object not wishing to go anywhere else. This led them to calling the home estate company to look and see if the ladder was stuck due its legs possibly going deeper into the ground. The company attempted to dig under it, only for the ladder to continue floating in its exact position. 

Reports from neighbours after the event detail hearing a loud screech from the mother of the household, then her voice begging towards the ladder to leave its spot. 

Once Foundation personnel reached the scene, it was found that the family left the home in a hurry. Attempts made by staff to move the ladder themselves proved ineffective, thus the building was purchased as a containment unit for SCP-8587 and was opened for free usage by personnel. 

The actions taken by the family during and after the event have been deemed non-anomalous.
