Sorry about what happened man but how do you go without home insurance? You must be paid off because my mortgage company stipulates that if you lapse in coverage THEY will cover you at a nice high rate per day.

Time to invest in some serious home alarm gear. Put a code panel IN the garage and use it.

Is your garage attached to the house? Is there a door from the house into the garage? That would frighten the piss out of me. Thinking this guy was steps away from entering my home while I'm asleep. I sleep really deeply so I count on my dogs to be my ears. They do a wonderful and sometimes annoying job of letting me know what they hear.
