Did you leave the garage door open? Is there another way to get into your garage? They probably went inside the garage and pulled the cord to release the garage door.

Its a series of 8 or so switches that consists of a garage door opener. Thats a lot of combos to try to figure out your garage door.

The more sophisticated bad guys have transmitters that can try all the basic frequencies (like the ones on the older garage door openers)

Thats a very good point, they also know you have firearms due to the reloading stuff

You should have a garage door opener that has a coded transmitter.

Ours uses rolling codes, whenever we change the transmitter battery, we have to re-synch it.

I had someone try this at my place a year or so ago, came downstairs to find the garage door partway opened up against my car and truck which I park in the driveway because the garage is a carpeted "lounge" with a pool table etc. One side of the door had obviously been pulled on real hard in an attempt to get through but the gap was too small. I live in a pretty good neighborhood, but at the same time last year I heard about a break-in and rape that happened several blocks away.

I think as the economy gets worse we are going to see more and more of this, I'm going to be upgrading the locks on my doors and will be adding a steel strap into the frame so that it's much more difficult to force the door.

Do alarm systems know that a window has been broken or just opened? Never looked into them...

So I just added up everything that was taken... $1,680 in factory ammunition alone. Thank god they couldnt carry more or I would be over the $3,000 ammunition loss max on the policy. Its going to take a month to make up for that in reloads... not to mention the 1,000 match .233 brass I had just made.

Sorry to hear about this.......check local craigslist, you never know, you might find something that is yours.....
