Garage Security
You know that rope on your garage door that you can pull on and then manually raise or lower the door, you should remove the handle part of it.
From what I've been told and read it is quite easy to push the top of the door in and reach in with a coat hanger or something, grab the handle and pull it to unlock the door.
I haven't tried to open the door from the outside like this but I can easily see how it could be down. Taking the handle off is a simple way to prevent it.

Can't believe I just did that after talking about it last night! Did EDIT instead of QUOTE. The below is in response to BO's post:
BO, if you're too drunk to hit the key hole, maybe you need to call one of US. Some of us can still hit the KEY HOLE when shit faced!

Re: Garage Security
Just taking the string off isn't good enough. Double check that the latch can't be pulled as in the video and if it can consider zip tieing the latch so it can't be pulled.

Re: Garage Security
You could also put an alarm on the garage door. I have been thinking about doing it to mine for a while.

Re: Garage Security
Yeah, I've had that installed on my first house and made sure to have it added on our new house.

Re: Garage Security
after they took my helments and jacket from mine i drilled a hole thru the track right above one of the rollers and stuck a locking pin (like you find on a home gym) thru the track. takes 2 secs to lock/unlock

Re: Garage Security
And yes it is easier if there are windows on the garage. But in reality you are still talking about under a minute to gain access to a house. 60 seconds and you have the garage open, are in, and have the door closed consealing your precense from the street.Blizzard_1708 wrote:that took longer than 6 seconds, the guy counted slow!
