I had to dismantle it when my gf stayed with me cause she couldn't stand it. I had a small strobe light (like they use for the phone in radio dj booths) hooked up in my bedroom to a motion detector light outside. It would go off when the light went on outside....of course, it wasn't always 'theives' setting it off. I'm sure you coudl put a motion detector light inside your garage...and seeing as it shouldn't be going off at all unless there is movement inside there, it shouldn't really disturb you....add a small strobe to the bedroom, and you'll know when someone is in there. Its just something to minimize serious loss, and damage to your property.
