You can do it but best to have an actual residence where the car is registered. Get in an accident and the insurance company or the other driver’s lawyer digs up that you rent/own here, pay utilities, work here etc but not registered then that’s where the trouble begins.

Just got a seat for dinner at Mexican restaurant. Waitress hadn't arrived so I mosey over to bar to see the selection of tequilas. Decides on Don Julio Anejo/Gran Marnier. As I'm walking back to my table, I get a text from Sarge. Network drive they store all their data on is gone. I'll be there in 30
Get there and sarge says Sir, follow my finger with your eyes Freakin DREs gotta DRE WHY you cops gotta always break stuff just as I sit at the table? I never call 911 during dinner hour :

That DRE life. I just did some SFST's on a friend who needed her tint citation signed. I warned her that she's pretty hammered and she better be careful. I know she drove there, isn't eating and she's female, so she's already at a chemical/physiological disadvantage. edit: ...and she just sent me a text saying she's driving home....less than 40 minutes after I told her she's hammered. Sigh! |

I espoused that expression from the first time I heard of it.
As you might imagine, it has led to some rather fascinating 'what if' scenarios from folks who do not think that way - "what if it was...would you?" etc etc. I gotta say, being a cop is a tough enough job, and nowadays, the bloody media has made it way worse. kudos to you folks for being the last resort/first response/etc |

Things that make you go hmmmmm.....
I left the house about 8am this morning. I pull up to house 4 hours later and my garage door is open. I did not leave thru garage, car was parked on pad. Nothing in garage seemed disturbed. Door between garage and house is always locked. Alarm was on and did not go off. My sister says no big deal. Someone on block probably has garage door opener on same frequency. I don’t buy it. I’m here 6 months, if that was the case, it would have already happened. Not happy. I’m thinking someone is cruising neighborhood and seeing who is on same frequency. Sometimes I really hate living alone. Last edited by cmyx6go; 04-17-2021 at 05:33 PM.. |

I remember at 18-19 years old I was pulled over in my e28 with tints and the officer specifically asked me if I had snakes in the car. I looked at him like he had rabbit ears and then mentioned that if he saw me again, he would peel the tint from my car on the spot.
Maybe a power trip, who knows. Around the year 2000 I actually removed the tint as I didn’t like the look of it anymore but thought that traffic stop was odd. |

No such luck.
My gut was to call 911 but after I thought about it, alarm didn’t go off so no one got in the house. I guess I need to put a bolt or something in door frame so it can’t open from outside. Is this a thing? Last edited by cmyx6go; 04-17-2021 at 05:39 PM.. |

So New York State has had tint laws for years which went unenforced. I decided to get Tint on one of my cars then our wonderful governor made it a law that it would not pass inspection with Tint. So I spent money on Tint got a Tint ticket and then spent money removing the tint.

If you want to "harden" your house, you can do that by making your house look less inviting and making the neighbors houses look more inviting. Alarm company signs and stickers that are visible at every entrance is a good start. I'm sure there are more secure garage door openers available, but that could get expensive. Park your BMW in the garage out of sight. Park any expensive car out of sight; don't show what you have. Motion detector lights, cameras (or even fake cameras), leaving lights on, leaving the radio or TV on will all help to some degree. Really though, it was probable a one-off incident/accident. Maybe you somehow bumped the opener button. Maybe some wayward radio signal triggered your garage. In this case: One time is an accident, twice is enemy action. There won't be a third time. |

To answer your question, yes, there are latches that you can install on your track and door that will make it far more challenging to mechanically or automatically open the door. They can be a nuisance if you use your door often, but they add a ton of security.
