I sold cars for several years.
The number of people that do not clear their automatic garage 'homelink' buttons is huge. A few remember. A few call after and ask you to do it. Most I imagine just totally forget. Someone here is going to say they probably do it at home before they visit the dealership, but IMO the amount of people that clearly had no plans to trade in their vehicle that day is very high (judging from many boxes of personal items they have to transfer to the new car).
So used car lots have tons of programmed garage door openers. If you have access to license plate record lookups, or you get lucky and find the person's personal records still in the glovebox (probably 25% chance at a poorly ran dealership), you'll be able to get into their house.
Tldr; if you leave things in your car, they become the property of the next owner.. who would have thought
