do you have a automatic garage door opener? somebody can try to use theirs as they go by, the waves from them can be the same, it happened to us and our neighbors, you need to change the code,

When going away on vacation or when you know that you have no need to open the garage door...we inserted a long nail spike in the door mechanism so that the door can't go up. We don't use our garage except for lawn tools, etc. since my van is too big. So this nail is inplace all the time.

So sorry this happened, I certainly know the feeling from experience. We have since installed an alarm system, and I do feel much better with it.

I am so sorry this happened! What nerve! This past weekend someone was just telling me that we should lock the door from the garage to the house because thieves know how to open a garage door. I have no idea how they do that.

tnight our small town is having a meeting about crimes around here. If anything is of value I will post tomorrow.

When we moved into our new home. We were burglarized while we were at work. I guess I made it easy for them all my moving boxes were neatly labeled, Camera Equip, Hummels,
good glassware, etc. duh!
