Easier just to steal the opener code or bump the door lock. I see break ins

Professional house breakers use the same MO on house
after house. If this method of entry is popular in
your neighborhood, it would be prudent to be concerned.
Other posters have indicated this is a favored entry
point in their localities. Apparently, not in all
communities and, AFAIK, not in mine. But if you live
in an at-risk area it would be sensible to take
precautions.

Personally, I wouldn't recommend removing the emergency
release rope -- you might just need it one day. But
you might make some adjustments that would make it
really, really hard for some Bad Guy to activate the
thing from the outside.
