Is there any glass around it that would reflect from the sun during that part of the day? A sky light maybe on the patio.
without leading on any further, as others point out, there's clawing around the door damage in question suggesting an animal pawing to get in.
No worries there.
However, the door LOOKs like a ePVC, or fiberglass composite type patio door…and once their outside layer is…pawed away…it loses its resistance to UV exposure.
That's my guess. A door and windows guy would probably be the best expert, but I really think the material type is the most telling. Simple vinyl would usually molt when exposed to higher heat for example.

Small Dog clawing at the door wanting in! That damage took months or years to effect. It has nothing to do with break-in.

Appreciate all the responses/suggestions. One thing is abundantly clear…..the homeowner(s) are NOT correct in their statement that it's "new" damage. 
Looks like some critter had been squeezing itself in and out of there for years. Rubbed the paint down to the prime.
Just looking for that large insurance check. Was the lawn damaged in the break in also?Appreciate all the responses/suggestions. One thing is abundantly clear…..the homeowner(s) are NOT correct in their statement that it's "new" damage.
