Being robbed is the last thing anyone wants to have happen. With this in mind, they practice garage door theft prevention techniques. Ah, but what about your clicker? I am constantly amazed at how much effort a person will put into protecting their home from theft and then do something that completely sabotages it! They might leave doors or windows cracked open or the infamous act of leaving a key under the front door mat. One might as well leave a big “rip me off” sign on the front door! Well, garage door theft prevention is a similar proposition. Many people have learned that leaving their garage door open is an invitation for someone to rob them. It might be a simple robbery where someone swipes something out of the garage or something far worse where the scumbags enter the house and actually hold you up. Closing an automatic garage door takes care of this problem. There is one other area, however, you need to be cognizant of – your clicker. Many of us have more cars than we have garage space. As a result, we park one outside. If you leave a clicker in that car, you are asking for trouble. This is particularly true if you leave it where someone can see it. So, what happens? Well, thieves have started breaking into cars, swiping the clickers and then reading the registration information to see which home the car belongs to. They then walk up to that home, use the clicker to open the garage and stroll right on in to peruse your valuables! Times are tough in this economy. This means a rise in crime. Be smart when it comes to protecting your home and stuff. Don’t let your garage door clicker become a free entry card to your home for a thief. Thomas Ajava writes for GarageDoorRepairCompanies.com.
