The current door has a solid metal bar across the top of panel that is right by the upper set of wheels. It also seals tightly against the frame. A crowbar would be needed now.
Rather removing the cord just remove the handle. That is what is being hooked from the outside. Grabbing the cord from the inside itself is enough. In my case, I was lazy and pulled the cord through so the handle is at top.
As for the robbery. I would venture a guess to say it was targeted. That is the thieves had met the owner at an event, got their name, did a name and address search, and waited for the opportunity.
As for the thieves, amateurs. They should have been in and out in under a minute.

I found it amusing the dude was sneaking around in the garage like Elmer Fudd hunting Bugs Bunny. Lol.
