If you have an en-block garage, that is one of a group which is out of site of your property, always close your garage door when you have removed your car.

A few years ago, my dog sensed a disturbance in our group of garages which are some distance away. I went to investigate and found five youngsters in a left open garage .

This brainless collection had lit a fire in a tin can with a series of holes in it and laying scattered on the floor was a collection of fireworks.

When I asked what was going on, they said they were fireworks which had become wet and they were drying them out.

Needless to say, I sent them on their way with a threat to set my dog on them if they came back my dog at the time was a 130lb husky.

It only wants a car in an adjoining garage to have a small petrol leak and the result could have been disastrous.
