Thieves and burglars are becoming more and more adept with the ever changing way home owners integrate security systems on their premises. One of these security added features is a garage door that is operable by a remote.
A recent survey carried out by the Metropolitan Police in London, say they’re seeing a disturbing trend. They have had a higher than usual amount of breaking into cars — not to steal the cars, but to steal the garage door opener so they can get into homes.
Unfortunately this scenario is about educating an uneducated audience as most people would never think to leave their keys in the car but a garage door remote is the same thing — easy access in a matter of seconds. Leave your window down or don’t lock your car and it’s an invitation into your home.
