You spent a ton of coin on a house so you could have a two car garage. The Z was parked outside for whatever reason. Same with the Dodge or did they break in? Man door on a garage is a silly idea.

The Z06 was in the driveway because we have (had) 4 vehicles and live right on the corner so moving vehicles around every morning and every night would be a pain in the ass.

The Charger was in the driveway because the previous owner built shelves along the back wall of the garage and it won't fit.

I have parked my cars in the driveway for the last 18 years in the same city with no issues.

Seriously wtf?

I moved 5 miles away and get 2 vehicles stolen in 3 weeks?

The garage has two windows and a man door.

I will probably swap the wooden door for a steel one and put bars on the windows.

It's easy to say, and harder to do, but I would never live where I needed steel doors and barred windows.

If you’re looking for an SRT Challenger to replace it and it’s only available out west lemme know. And I can drive a stick

Hope you somehow come out even after the dust settles

Save yourself money and get something like this. Your door is only as strong as the cheap wood the frame is made from. A steel door won’t change that fact

2x4 or 2x6 goes on the inside

you've never seen the video clips of how easy it is for someone (skilled) to open a garage door from the outside.

I saw it a couple years ago and it was eye opening.

Took a wire coat hanger and put it through the weather strip and was able to disconnect the opener from the door and roll it up by hand.
Took like 20 seconds.

Well shit that just sucks balls. I would buy the new vette and park it in the same spot with hidden cameras. Then a few well placed treble hooks with spider wire safely locked in the car. The revenue from YouTube hits could make you whole.
