Had a "home invasion" last night, fortunately I didn't have to use any of my weapons since it was localized to the garage and they must have been in and out in a minute or two. Garage door was wide open this morning, it looks like they stole the hidden garage door opener out of my wife's car. I did some research and zip-tied the emergency release latch so that it can't be "hooked" (apparently this is becoming more common now, you can open up a garage door from the outside with a looped coat hanger). Also apparently there are guys going around with code readers which I am not sure how to protect against but I reset all of our codes anyway.
I lock my car all the time but apparently the one night I don't they got into it...all they seem to have taken were 3 empty CD cases and two empty sunglasses cases. Tried to yank the radar detector but couldn't figure out how to unplug the hardwire so left it hanging there. Left two sets of golf clubs, tools, etc. They did get a cheap pair of sunglasses and a garmin from my wife's car. Makes me nervous because I am about to leave all week for a business trip but my wife is trained and armed so she should be fine. Not fun to deal with!
