Yea, but I'd also hear that since it means I'm home. That's the important part. If my car is on the street or in the driveway gonna be harder to tell it's my car taking off. And even if I did, it's already too late for me to do anything about it.

And my garage has no windows so you can't even tell if there's a car in there.

Eh, you’d likely be surprised. If your garage opened at 4am and you were dead asleep, would you actually hear it? Because I sure as hell wouldn’t.

Don’t get me wrong, I leave things in my garage unsecured. I just make sure to deadbolt the interior door.

Just wanted to make sure to point out that a garage isn’t as secure as the inside of your house. (And even that isn’t very secure.)

Yes. Curse of being a light sleeper now. It's also right under my bedroom. Plus, even odds on me still being awake at 4AM.🙂
