The fix on the other ones is to put a plastic tie through the holes so the latch can't be pulled down at all.....
The coat hanger through the wedged top of the garage door will work for newer houses, I tried it. Very hard to do without windows in the door. The burglar hooks the latch in front (towards the house) of the lever, not the actual lever. As you said the fix is a ty rap.
