So it finally happened... I joined the club of the unlucky. Some one broke into my garage, while I was home asleep, and stole my rods!
Lamiglas x10 MC x2
Abu Garcia REVO Premere x2
Lamiglas x10 MS
Lamglas x96 LS
and two pfluger reels.
Thats just the stuff the really broke my heart some others too.
If any one sees this stuff being sold please feel free to harvest theyre teeth. I got up at 4 am to go fish like I do every day and it was all gone. Probably woke the neighbors with my temper tantrum.

Sorry to hear, rotten scum hang em all.

I meant their teeth. Any ways probably should have said this was Vancouver WA. Just moved into this new house a month ago. What a welcome to the neighborhood gift.

Find a tweaker with more than one tooth and you found something.

Sad. Good luck.

Bummer.

I went into a pawn shop today and saw a reel that coulda been the one I gave to my son that he had stolen. But, no identifying marks were put on it. So snooze ya lose.

Gonna have to go out in the shop and mark everything I own.

FIGHT EVILE!!!!!!!!!!!...........................

Get a dog, you sleep too soundly............

I'm going to get more motion detectors for my alarm system.



I already have the dog.............

I have 4 dogs 2 of which are pitbulls!!! LAZY!!!! They didn't wake up either.

How did they break in? Was it a window or did they force a door? Is there a chance you left your door open sometime during the day and they scoped out what you had? If breaking in they had to make some kind of noise. Sorry about your loss, I'll keep an eye on craigs list. Bob R

No they some how got the auto opener to open. I guess if you have a collection of the clickers you can cruise the neighborhoods clicking them all until some ones door opens. Thats what ive been told. I guess it happened to people in the more well off neighborhood across town too. We went to bed at about 10:00 and our neighbors got home around mid night and said the door was shut when they got home.

Im watching craigslist too as well as all the local pawn shops. Thank you for looking out.

Sorry to hear that man.

If your opener isn't changing the code each time it sends a signal to open, that could be the vulnerability (older and cheap openers don't do a good job with this). One foolproof way to keep the opener from opening is to put it into vacation mode, it won't accept a signal from anything, the only thing that will open it is hitting the switch manually or entering the security code (on key pad types). However, this defeats the purpose of having an auto opener if it won't open when you pull up to drive your car in. Since I don't park my cars in the garage it doesn't matter so I leave it in vacation mode all the time.

my opener switch in the garage has a lock/unlock feature.

Automatic garage doors are about the easiest thing to defeat to gain access to your garage/home. Most people mistakenly leave their garage entry door to the home unlocked. Use a heavy Zip Tie or wire twisted around the OHD release bar to mitigate this trick--



Code scanners/readers can be built by thieves for about $5 to obtain your access codes.

I switched my OH doors so I can easily turn off the motors and use the dead bolt on the doors/tracks when we're not around. Fool me once....

Not necessarily so given scanners/sniffers/readers.... KeeLOQ is a common rolling-code algorithm used in gate doors and automotive remote-keyless-entry systems that was busted a few years ago. Using a sniffer like this you can get the serial of the fob (which is not encrypted in KeeLOQ) and implement your attack. The “rolling code” is just a counter that is synced at the time the fob is programmed into the receiver, each button press on the fob increments the counter. As long as the counter is within ~16 numbers of the true count it will authenticate you. If you are further out it requires two transmissions with the counter in sequence and then the receiver will resync to you. The keyspace is large enough to make this not a weakness to bruteforce (since you have effectively divided the keyspace by 16). But all that is moot since the encryption used on the counter has been busted in several ways and the algorithm is now published on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KeeLoq

That sucks. Hopefully you can get your stuff back. Had one of my vehicles broken into the other night. Somehow the thieves found a way to bypass the alarm on the car and get inside. Bedroom window was open and it is right next to the street, so if the alarm had gone off I would have definitely heard it. Woke up in the morning to the driver slightly ajar, glove compartment empty and everything stacked on the floor and passenger seat. They didn't even take anything. Glad we don't leave anything valuable in our cars. We definitely got lucky.

Weirdest thing ever with my garage doors happened Friday. We'd gone out shopping and came home, and the doors were closed. I went outside later in the heat of the afternoon, and the two doors with automatic openers were open. Either the heat affected the auto door fobs in the glove box of the car, or someone came rolling by "testing" an auto door opening device, or ????? If that had happened while we were away I cringe at what all might be missing when we returned. I re-closed the doors and set them to lock. Now I think I will just unplug the door opener motors since we aren't putting the cars in there anyway.
