Darn Thief
I went out to my TV this morning and the contents of the center console were laying on my front seat. Some clown took my seven year old Garmin GPS. But they left the mounting bracket and power cord....

I had to unplug the door opener so that stolen remote wouldn't work should the low-lifes try and get into the garage.
I have seen 3 types of garage door openers.
1: Very old and I seriously doubt any are still in service, NOT PROGRAMMABLE
2: very common, There are some DIP (Dual Inline Package is what that means by the way) switches, usually 6-10 of them, and a matching set of them in the remote, IF THEY MATCH Ie 10001010 on both,it works, if they do not (you changed the door to 11001010 they don't Reprogramming may requre a screwdriver, Well, actually a very small screwdriver is very useful to flip the switches.
3: And I have seen only one of these, about 100 yards from where I'mparked,, EACH remote has it's own electronic signal and code. THe receiver passes the code to a computer and the computer both logs the key press and, if authorized, opens the, in this case gate,but Door works.
If the member gets suspended, A few key strokes and the comnputer logs the ATTEMPT to open the gate, but the gate remains closed.
