Done that before. Sucks. I do try to make sure I stop and wait for the door to come down, stop, and wait a second before taking off. Even within the past week I've had to force myself to stop, back-up to where I could I see the door, or even turn around. Been awhile since I came home and found it open, but I'm 99% sure it was me not waiting combined with the door hitting an obstacle or stiff point and going into reverse.
In the game of Woke, the goal posts can be moved at any moment, the penalties will apply retroactively and claims of fairness will always lose out to the perpetual right to claim offense.... Bret Stephens
The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those that speak it. George Orwell.
We can ignore reality, but we cannot ignore the consequences of ignoring reality. Ayn Rand.
Nothing appears to be missing (which is amazing given I live in a not so trustworthy apartment complex with aluminum can dumpster divers constantly roaming the alleys) which is a good thing... since I have about 80 backup boxes of bank pennies (in plain sight) waiting for sacrifice to the Ryedale. Lessons learned... double check that I friggin did indeed hit the remote, that the door indeed came down. When you habitually do something, things can go amiss. My other conclusion is that I need to change the factory settings on the garage door opener. Anyone with the same type controller can drive the alleys pressing repeatedly, and undoubtedly there are others besides myself who need to change their codes. I was just damned lucky I went on only a short errand. It's just stuff out there... but it would still urine me off, and make me feel a sense of violation, to have someone rip me off under such a set of circumstances. Whew... got lucky this time.
