it is also possible that someone is forgetting to close it and then later on we just think it opened.
i am toying with installing a gadget that runs thru my wi-fi and i'll be able to tell on my phone if my door is open or not. i'd like this more for piece of mind. I beleive this gadget is something like $130 at HD

I recently installed a Chamberlain Internet Connectivity Kit in my detached garage. Main reason was peace of mind as I couldn't see the door from the house. So so now I can check it whenever I want and I have alerts set to notify if it's been open longer than 5 minutes.. I've found the ability to open/close the door via the phone app is also great to have so I don't have to exit through the man door. Works great when shoveling snow and you want to close it from the main door.
Beware though, there are two kits. The lesser common one is good for Security+ openers, while the more common one is good for Security+ 2.0. This is the one I got for my slightly old opener.
