Most people in the neighborhood my mom lives in always leave theirs open too... Don't think there are too many incidents though...
 
In my town, you can be issued a crime prevention citation if you leave your garage open at night. There's not a fine, just a notice to close your door at night.

It's backup beer for when you clean out the fridge.

You're a little slow, aren't you? 😛
Awww...I thought it was Mechanic's beer. 😉

Sounds like my town i grew up in too.. Town Watch would drive around and issue them to people with doors open.

Why? It's an easy way to prevent theft.. people will remember to close their door if they know the police are on them 😛

I suppose we should all buy cheap TVs and such too since potential burglars will be less tempted to break in that way?

If you're not smart enough to close your garage door at night, that's your own problem....not that of the local law enforcement.

It's law enforcement's job to prevent crime, that's what they're doing. It's not like cops are spending their entire shifts doing this... if they see an open door, they leave a quick note telling them to close it.

That's it. Your Man-Pass(tm) is suspended until further notice pending an inquiry into your manliness. :|

I'm actually glad that there's so many easy targets out there. It draws all the attention away from my well-secured stuff. 😉
 
It's actually a shame that I can't leave my garage doors open without worrying about someone coming and stealing my property.

a few days ago after i went to the movies (im 17) i went over to a friends house, and just driving through the neighborhood i saw about 15 houses with their garage door open. Kids around here like to get alcohol, thus they go garaging! now why do people think its safe to leave the garage door open here? yes i live in a small town, but no way are you not going to have something happen atleast once.

(garaging, entering the garage in search of alcohol, or other things)

what are your thoughts?

i am talking around 11' at night though!! how well can you hear in your garage when your aslepp?

MIKE

have one of those neighboors right next to me. It seems that they just forget that its open

 
Sometimes we just FORGET..ok??


Geez....some people.




😛


EDIT: we dont keep alcohol in the garage anyway (do we even HAVE alcohol in the house??)....so unless they like soda (and lots of it)...that's all they'll be getting in our garage. w00t!
