Also you'd be amazed at how easily a residential style roll-up door can be defeated. Especially when it's got some mileage. A good hard push at the top of the door will create an opening to reach through and trigger the latch mechanism.

When I leave home for an extended period of time, I disconnect the power to the door opener, then put a bolt in the door track. This eliminates the chances of someone hacking the door opener code or disengaging the manual release. It is a crude but effective way of stopping a thief from getting into your garage. They would have to smash the garage door to get in and very few thieves want to make that much noise!
