Put your car keys beside your bed at night.
Tell your spouse, your children, your neighbors, your parents, your
Dr's office, and the check-out girl at the market, everyone you run
across. Put your car keys beside your bed at night.
If you hear
a noise outside your home or someone trying to get in your house, just
press the panic button for your car. The alarm will be set off, and the
horn will continue to sound until either you turn it off or the car
battery dies.
This tip came
from a neighborhood watch coordinator. Next time you come home for the
night and you start to put your keys away, think of this: It's a
security alarm system that you probably already have and requires no
installation. Test it. It will go off from most everywhere inside your
house and will keep honking until your battery runs down or until you
reset it with the button on the key fob chain. It works if you park in
your driveway or garage.
If your car alarm goes off when
someone is trying to break into your house, odds are the burglar/rapist
won't stick around. After a few seconds, all the neighbors will be
looking out their windows to see who is out there and sure enough the
criminal won't want that. And remember to carry your keys while walking
to your car in a parking lot. The alarm can work the same way there.
This is something that should really be shared with everyone. Maybe it
could save a life or a sexual abuse crime.
