First I read this story in The Advocate. Someone's GPS and garage door opener were stolen. Not exactly valuable items for a thief, I thought. It really didn't click with me, until. . .
Then I read this blog. Most GPS devices have a "go home" button that could take a thief straight to your house and, then using your garage door opener, right into your house through your garage door.
Good advice?
Before you are a victim, program that GPS for a location not exactly at home. The one blog suggests a gas station, for example, as a good choice. I think a busy intersection would work well too.
If you find these stolen from your car, reprogram your garage door opener ASAP. Most manufacturers publish a manual for garage door reprogramming online.
