Power garage door opener? Easy to get in. If the opener is old
enough, you can usually giggle it loose. If not, lean a short piece
of lumber (2x4 works best) against the door at one side, especially
during a cold winter morning. Door opens, board falls across track.
Driver backs out, hits button, puts car in drive and goes off, having
seen door start to descend. Door hits lumber, safety switch says
"obstruction, back up" and door opens. Burglar runs in, kicks board
out of the way, shuts door and then finds the best tools that you have
to open the door into the house.

That looks like a GM lock not for a Honda!
