I wondered about that too, but insurance requires a locked garage. I tried a "portable garage" (metal framed tent) but that was completely unacceptable also. Their fear seems to be theft, but tree damage is a bigger risk--I live in woodland and an oak tree by our driveway wrote off my Passat estate 4 years ago dropping a big bough on it for no apparent reason. Falling branches can rip a carcoon or portable garage. The sad fact is that many American garages seem to be stuffed so full of junk that the cars have to stay on the driveway. The house next door being one of them. The house opposite has 5 garages currently--3 new ones full of cars and 2 oldies full of junk!
