Had it have been even half an inch further back, then it would have damaged the roof and window, further back and it could have got the sunroof, and further forward could have got the boot. As it is, there is a small nick on the very edge of the roof about 5mm long, and a much 'larger' 10mm scuff mark a little further along. When I was picking up the debris, I even found pieces six feet in front of the car!

That certainly was very lucky! Not so much that the chimney pot fell onto the car, but at least glass is relatively easy to replace.
Sounds like you need to build a car port, which is something I've been planning to do myself for a long time.
