The pedestrian gate that Mary suggested would be a good idea. People going
in/out with pets, people just going out for walks/exercise would find
it far more convenient, and it would certainly increase security.
Costly? Maybe, but so it the continued problem of garage theft (let alone
the potential for injury if a resident encounters a thief alone
underground).
