Garage Door Openers... Friend or Foe?

Todays tip of the day is coming from a dear friend who had to learn the hard way. It's something most of us don't think about, something we all do, and something we all need to take serious. So...

"Don't leave your garage door opener in your unlocked car"

Simple, yet lots of us still forget to lock our car doors once we get home. We eat dinner, watch a little TV then make sure our doors and windows are shut and secured before running off to bed. Your car is just as important as your front door. It's in our nature to shut the garage door but leave the door leading from the garage into the house unlocked. Why lock it? The garage is shut. Right? Wrong! All someone has to do is gain access into your vehicle, use your garage door opener to open your garage and gain access into your home. Now, of course if you forget to lock your car door but lock the door that leads into the garage, the thieves can still do some damage. They can open your garage, steal whatever, load all of your possessions into YOUR car and drive off....with your garage door opener still intact.

Remember, your garage door opener is just as precious as your house keys....the only difference is your garage door opener opens a much, much bigger door than your front, side or back door. *wink
