As was previously described, people drive around with a remote, and hope for a "hit." With a 4-digit code, there are only so many codes that can be programmed, in this case 10,000. People drive around and do the same thing with cordless phones - same principle.
Good idea to pull the power cord on the GDO. Also, consider a timer/security system (X-10 is a popular manufacturer. You can time various lights and appliances to go on/off as you desire. It works through your house wiring. Putting one of the X-10 outlets on your GDO saves plugging and unplugging, and you can also program it to be off overnight.
