This is not as crazy as some people here are suggesting. There is a great wifi IP camera (wireless) for sale on ebay for only $139. Been using it for almost a year now with zero problems. Keeping an eye on your garage is a good idea.

When I arm my house, my garage is secure also, overhead garage doors, side door, and window, all on house security system.

I do not use any security cameras for the garage. While it may be a good idea, I figure that is why I pay car insurance.

Google Cane Corso and your problem is solved. it is outstanding protection for Vettes and they handle problems quickly and efficiently-guaranteed. Garage doors, alarms, locks, cameras can all be bypassed. Cane Corsos cannot be bypassed!

If your Vette isn't secure enough in your enclosed garage, you might want to consider moving to a different neighborhood.

I had a Linksys wifi security cam in my garage for awhile until it stopped working. I used it primarily to keep an eye on contractors doing work in my garage. Like someone who did some drywall work and the mobile repair and paint crew that did a little work on the Vette for me.

When the drywall guy was here, I had the camera aimed at the area he was working which was near my tool pegboard. I wanted to make sure the guy didn't walk off with anything. He didn't but I got a real surprise when I reviewed the video later. He turned his back to the camera (which he never saw) and peed in my garage (into one of his 5 gallon buckets), which he emptied onto my driveway.
