You can always use one of the driveway alert devices like this:

It chimes whenever it detects motion.  If you put it outside, you 
will have some alerts from passing dogs and debris blowing by.  If 
you put it inside the garage, it really shouldn't do that, unless you 
have rats running around or something.  These things are typically 
battery operated, so you do have to periodically change the 
batteries.  It will also chime whenever you are out doing things in 
the area of the sensor.  This may not matter if you live alone, but 
if there are others in the house, they may find it a bit annoying.

I do have to agree with some earlier comments, though.  Step one 
should really be to improve the basics like locks and such.  If you 
have a traditional garage door and power out there, a garage door 
opener serves as a lock, and makes it easier to keep the door closed 
and secure.
