Last night some scum broke into my truck that was parked in my drive. Nothing of value in my truck to steal.
I park outside cause the garage is full. I have the trucks (2019 Silverado) “built in garage opener button” programmed to open my garage door. So they could have opened the garage door entered the garage and then enter the house. They only went through my truck.
Just now, I checked and determined that the trucks key fob does not need to be near the truck to have the trucks built in button open the garage.
So I need to either un program that button in my truck, or find another option. Or they may come back break into the truck and then the garage then the house.
Anyone have any thoughts on how to tackle this?

Anyone have any thoughts on how to tackle this? That is a complicated matter... Paul Brokedick Bicycle dude has a Coast Guard friend you could hire... maybe.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Had to take all the garage openers out of the cars because they were doing exactly that in my neighborhood…

I used to program the vehicle with garage door opening capability but thought about it and realized that a thief could get into the garage and take his time breaking into the house.

Why choose to live in an area with these concerns? We went away for 9 days last month and couldn’t find a house key to leave out. Leave the key in the ignition of both my trucks. 9 houses on our gravel road, 6 are family or owned by family, probably 500 acres total of family owned farmland. Never been anyone stupid enough to Fugk around back here in the last 26 years we’ve lived here. I wouldn’t live in a subdivision if they gave me a house for free.

I live in the sticks with the hicks
They know I’m the one shooting a 12 gauge random hours of the day.
My own family hates me because of it, I dared my uncle to call the law on me last week.
Ren was there. Haha

Put a switch on the plug that runs the door opener, shut it off at night.

Ring Camera + dogs + 12 gauge + lock your trucks + home security system...so basically layered security could be an option.

Some GD openers have a lock feature on the "inside" button.

Clean all the junk out of the garage and park your truck inside.

Put a switch on the plug that runs the door opener, shut it off at night. Not sure of the OPs, but a lot of the newer openers have a battery backup for power outages so they open regardless. Our is that way. My remote is through an app on my phone. No physical remotes in any of our vehicles.

Put a switch on the plug that runs the door opener, shut it off at night. That’s what I did after the wife’s ex would bring the kids by to get stuff. Also an extra layer of security if someone broke into my work van that sits outside. We also leave the driveway lights on and make sure it’s parked in the driveway. Good luck

You have too much stuff. I recommend a stuff-ectomy.
Seriously, why do you have a garage door opener in a truck you don’t park in the garage?

Park the fancy-smancy truck in the garage and some old POS without the bells and whistles outside..... The POS vehicles in the garage are wife’s newer Tahoe and my Z06 corvette. But thanks for the advice.

Just use the slider to ‘lock’ the garage door. It disables opening and closing with both the indoor button and remote. I’m kind of surprised that this is news to anyone but am glad it is non your radar. It’s possibly the easiest way someone can gain unauthorized access to your house.

I put my old 2005 cheve in the driveway. Problem is sometimes it don't start because it is too cold. Then I have to move it so I can get out of the garage.
