We get it! My point is you were alerted and have changed all codes, therefore nothing to worry about now, right??
Well I find it disconcerting that someone working there is possibly going around changing people's garage codes for shits and giggles. I mean, wouldn't that bother you? Especially with a place you routinely take your car? And you know they might possibly be messing with your shit in your car?
And also, we have a bajillion threads on random shit. Being skeeved out this happened seemed like just as good of a topic to write about as any other. ::shrugs::
You seem oddly defensive about this thread. Many have agreed that it's odd, but think that there's most likely a logical explanation. I guess you wanted people to agree that you should call the police? I don't think this situation warrants it, being alert and keeping your doors locked should be enough. And seriously, get an alarm system. I'm certain it'll be worth the money for the peace of mind it'll give you.

I wouldn't mind if people just said "Eh I don't know how odd I find it; I wouldn't call the cops." But pretty much implying I am dumb/an idiot is a little bit much. And many people didn't even understand how my garage door system worked at first and yes, that was frustrating to be told I am being silly when they aren't even understanding the situation. Honestly, I'm a little surprised that so few people would be skeeved out/ticked off that more than likely someone fucked with their stuff while their car was supposed to be getting serviced.

I am going to delete the OP in a bit - I don't want it Googleable especially since I mention the dealership name multiple times. So get your digs in while you can lol!

Yes, there were some who were confused by your descriptions of how your opener works, but not everyone. And I think most didn't react that strongly because a) you already protected yourself by changing the codes to the clicker and the garage and b) they figured that there's most likely a simple, non-nefarious explanation for the one (of thirteen) number change.
knowing the full situation as you have told it, and how a garage door works: you are being silly. doesn't your op say you tend to overreact to things?
Yes. I fully admit I may be. I don't mind people telling me I am overreacting. I just don't think I'm being stupid or an idiot. I have heard of people stealing garage door codes before, and honestly, I do think the number was deliberately changed. More than likely it was just someone fucking around, which irritates me but does not make me nervous.

Why not delete it now? You want more people to talk about ____?
I'm not trying to be a jerk, actually. I do hope you get some peace from the fact that people have told you that it is okay.
ETA: I'm sorry. I deleted it. But what I originally typed was a brand name, and not a dealership.

I don't want it to seem like I am taking my ball and going home. I'm not. I didn't think leaving it up for another 10-20 min was that big of a deal. People say they will delete their photos at a later time but still leave them up for a bit. I honestly don't think it's weird that I gave a heads up before I deleted. I do find it odd that you purposely typed out the name of the dealership when you knew I didn't want it searchable and was going to delete soon, though.

Lol look, you're just being silly. You're overreacting about the entire thing (though I don't think you're dumb), and now about DDing because you mentioned Toyota? Like someone is going to be googling "Toyota garage code thieves"and connect this to you and show up at your house?? Do you know how many Toyota dealerships there are? Stahhhhp. Just take a deep breath and stop.
Well not just Toyota but I also pretty much typed out my entire OP verbatim as a FB status and really don't want my IRL friends/family finding me here. But after your post above, I probably don't have to delete my OP anyway lol.

Well, I can delete it from my post if you want, I'm not a dick. My point is just that this is something you're probably being really paranoid about for no reason!

I know. I fully admitted in my OP I have a tendency to be paranoid. I am honestly glad that everyone here thinks it isn't a big deal and I can relax about it.
Wow, people are being awfully harsh. I think it's a weird thing that happened and I'd be a little unnerved.
I'd be a little spooked too but I also saw this movie where a guy made copies of women's keys and then raped them and killed them and made them come back to life with no memory of the previous night.

And we have a takeaway!
It's okay to freak out! I totally told my puppy she was going to get splinters if she kept eating sticks today, costing me $10,000 in abdominal surgery and forcing me to lose my house due to foreclosure. It happens. You're good. Until you tell someone to F off. Is that coming next?

Dude.
I don't even know how to take that. Is she joking? What's going on there?
