Everybody, look into getting a security system.

At least in all the houses built in the last four years. I don't know about the older houses. 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.

For those that may not know and for what it is worth there is a shut off switch on the garage switch inside your garage that will disable the remote control so someone cannot ride around trying to open the garage door with their remote control.;
