   Likely wouldn't have done much good. With the main door rolled down the   
   perps could just have forced the inside door since they wouldn't be seen   
   and then there would have been the additional damage.   
      
   After this incident I started hiding my garage door opener so it   
   couldn't be seen from outside the car. Now my cars both have built-in   
   openers so problem solved. Well maybe, unless they steal the car and   
   head for my house...  8-O
