Someone in our neighbourhood is messing with our garage. More than once per week we will come home and our garage will be open. The only thing that has ever gone missing has been empty bottles. We live in the inner city, but there will come a point when my wife will go into the garage with our two kids and there will be a handful of junkies standing there. Or there will come a point in time where we will go in and my golf clubs, power tools, camping stuff will be gone.

The garage door is electric and we have a programmable opener for it.

We have re-programed the garage door mechanisms several times. When we re-program, we confirm that the old openers do not work. I have walked up and down the entire neighbourhood at each garage trying to open it with our openers (in case there is a duplicate in the neighbourhood) and that is not the case. but the door was open today and there were no footprints in the snow and the lock was on the gate, meaning the only way it was opened was from the alley side. Not only was the door open today, our remote control was "unprogrammed" and did not work.

I have installed security lights. I have hung an ADT sign on the outside of the garage (we have ADT for the house but not the garage).

I do not know if there is such a thing as a scanner that can pick up garage door codes, (i've heard rumours of such a device). If there is, I do not know if there is a way I can block or disrupt the scanner.

I do not want to have to install an entirely new garage door but if there is no other options, then I will have to do it.
