Is there such thing as a garage door opener/closer on a timer?

So my neighbor just called and told me my garage door is open (and probably has been all night since I left yesterday.) This is the second time I've forgotten to close it in the recent past but thankfully I live in a pretty quiet neighborhood and everything seems undisturbed. Is there some kind of gadget I can buy that will make it close automatically after say, an hour or two? Some kind of programmable timer that can be overridden if I'm working in the yard or driveway, but an idiot proofing measure for when I leave the house and forget to shut it?

Do you have an external keypad and do you trust aforementioned neighbor? Give him/her the code and ask them to close it.???

Ive never heard of a device like you're talking about but....it might exist.
