Windows on garage so that they can peer in? That kind of thing sounds like maybe homeless prepping for late winter storm or just random thieves but suprise they dont take the other stuff.......

Garage unlocked or an automatic that they had to spring open vs chance you left it open?

I'm paranoid about anything not being in the house and secured. I hate even having to have my truck outside which is empty but for bungee's. Very little even in my attached garage. I actually miss having a schedule that someone was always home. Even being in a pretty low crime area, the thought of it bothers me often.
