Unfortunately all the laws of physics have yet to be written. With the advances in superstring theory we are learning that what we percieve as the laws of physics may very well only be the laws of three ( or four if you include time ) dimensional physics.
Also the laws changed when we turned our attention to the quantum level. We now see quantum particles that seem to our observation to move backwards through time.
And there are even photographs now on the web that claim to be a single object existing in two seperate places AT THE SAME TIME! Objects that are quite visible with the naked eye.
So the laws of physics are broken from time to time, but we redefine those laws based on our new observations.

The 'laws of physics' are the principles which govern how matter and energy exist and interact and behave. They are independent of our understanding of them. F = ma was true long before Newton lived. By that definition, nothing in the universe can exist or behave in contradiction the laws of physics.
It doesn't surprise me that the Creator of the universe, the Creator of those laws of physics, can find ways to violate or suspend or bypass them. Instances of that are true examples of the term miracle.
It also doesn't surprise me that the material universe that we observe isn't all there is. This is rather obvious to anyone who gives it serious thought. I've put a lot of work into learning the physics of how the physical universe works. I also put a lot of work into learning how the non-physical 'universe' works. I find the best source of that truth to be the Bible. It's what God considers important for us to know about Himself.

Physics is a science, just like any other. That doesn't mean it's perfect. Laws of physics are based on observation. That means they are, in many cases, good estimates. If we saw something that violated the laws of physics, it's time to change the laws. That's how quantum mechanics came about, as well as relativity.

The laws of physics are not the laws of the universe. It's only OUR perspective of what we see/study. New studies, such as STRING THEORY, have the chance to completely redefine what we thought were concrete laws of Newtonian physics. So to answer your question, "yes", something could live outside the walls of OUR physics because when compared to how much we truly do not know of the universe, our physics are VERY basic.

If anything that exists in our universe disobeys the laws of physics, then we'd have to take a closer look at our supposed laws, cuz they'd apparently be wrong.

A physical law, scientific law, or a law of nature is a scientific generalization based on empirical observations of physical behavior. They are typically conclusions based on repeated scientific experiments over many years, and which have become accepted universally within the scientific community.
The production of a summary description of nature in the form of such laws is the fundamental aim of science. Laws of nature are distinct from the law, either religious or civil, and should not be confused with the concept of natural law.
Description
Several general properties of physical laws have been identified Physical laws are:
* True (a.k.a. valid). By definition, there have never been repeatable contradicting observations.
* Universal. They appear to apply everywhere in the universe.
* Simple. They are typically expressed in terms of a single mathematical equation.
* Absolute. Nothing in the universe appears to affect them.
* Stable. Unchanged since first discovered (although they may have been shown to be approximations of more accurate laws—see "Laws as approximations" below),
* Eternal. they appear unchanged since the beginning of the universe (according to observations). It is thus presumed that they will remain unchanged in the future. (Davies)
* Omnipotent. Everything in the universe apparently must comply with them (according to observations). (Davies)
* Generally conservative of quantity. (Feynman)
* Often expressions of existing homogeneities (symmetries) of space and time. (Feynman)
* Typically theoretically reversible in time (if non-quantum), although time itself is irreversible. (Feynman)
Often, those who understand the mathematics and concepts well enough to understand the essence of the physical laws also feel that they possess an inherent intellectual beauty. Many scientists state that they use intuition as a guide in developing hypotheses, since laws are reflection of symmetries and there is a connection between beauty and symmetry. However, this has not always been the case; Newton himself justified his belief in the asymmetry of the universe because his laws appeared to imply it.
Physical laws are distinguished from scientific theories by their simplicity. Scientific theories are generally more complex than laws; they have many component parts, and are more likely to be changed as the body of available experimental data and analysis develops. This is because a physical law is a summary observation of strictly empirical matters, whereas a theory is a model that accounts for the observation, explains it, relates it to other observations, and makes testable predictions based upon it. Simply stated, while a law notes that something happens, a theory explains why and how something happens.

Physicists haven't yet figured out what laws of physics would work inside black holes near the singularity. That's not to say there haven't been any effort.

Yes; it might be "religion" that is existing on the globe and that is out of the laws of Physics.
