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.
I think this tip is fantastic.
Would also be useful for any
emergency, such as a heart attack,
where you can't reach a phone. My
Mom has suggested to my Dad that he
carry his car keys with him
in case he falls outside and she
doesn't hear him. He can activate
the car alarm and then she'll know
there's a problem.
Please pass this on even IF
you've read it before. It's a
reminder.
