Kinda same MO when we lived in CO. wife and I went
shopping, someone broke into our car, got our address from Reg. card and garage opener. drove to our house entered garage, closed garage, and started to steal things and load into car. Luckly our noisey neighbor who knows all all friends, saw them enter garage, knew we were shopping and called police. The cops arrived about the time they tried to leave, we got all are things back, and they were arrested and went to jail for 6 mons. Since then I love nosey neighbors, and lock my garage opener in trunk and have a good alarm on all vehicles. Beware! Always lock door from house to garage. We also now have a house alarm. To think of the 50 & 60 we never even locked our house when away for day's, was no crime then in our town. How things have changed.
