LAPD has seen an increase in residential burglaries this week in which suspects gained entry into home through the opened garage 
You can significantly reduce your chances of becoming a victim of burglary by closing and securing all entry points to the house. This includes shutting the garage door while mowing or doing other yard work, even if you're in the front yard.
Residents who often forget to shut their garage door should consider purchasing an "open garage door indicator" that alerts them when the garage door has been left open. Also, some garage door manufacturers have an automatic system that recognizes when a garage door has been left open and will close it after a specified period of time.
