Garage Door Openers and Car Registration Info. . .

What's the easiest way to get into a house?

Right through the Garage Door with the remote
opener!

This happen a while ago, and here is what happen.

My friends were at Church. At the end of the service,
they went to their car, and saw that it was broken
into. So they called the police to file a report.

No big deal they thought. As the couple drove separate,
the wife arrived home first. She noticed a few things
strange, like the dogs were outside, instead of inside the house.
Maybe her husband arrived first.

She got to the master bedroom, and it was a mess,
stuff everywhere!!

Typical men!

But no, she soon realized that they were burglarized!
What happen?

The people that broke into the car at the Church, knew
the people would be at the service till the end, so they
had time.

They took the Garage Door Opener, and Registration
info from the car and went right to the house. Opened
the Garage Door, parked the car and had about
an hour. There were a couple of dogs in the house,
but the burglars quickly locked them up outside the house.

They loaded up the car in the garage, left with in
an hour and were gone.

This happen in broad daylight, and in fact one of the
neighbors even saw a strange car drive into their garage.
As she was running to the airport, she didn't have the time
to check, and just assumed there was nothing wrong.
Stuff like this happens all the time!!

What can we learn from this example?

1 - Do NOT leave your Garage Door opener remote in the
car. If you HAVE to, at least keep it hidden.

2 - Keep your Car Registration hidden, not in the usual spot,
the glove box. Some ideas, a purse, under the seat,
in the trunk. . .

If you have any questions, or comments and suggestions,
please feel free to leave them, or email me.

All the best,
Vinay

That is very unfortunate. You provided some simple solutions in your article. I would have never thought of hiding my auto registration in the car. People are getting desperate in Phoenix, AZ.
