Car Keys (Not Just For Driving)

[robby3333]

Not new, but still good advice.

I never would have thought of this.
PUT YOUR CAR KEYS BESIDE YOUR BED AT NIGHT.
Tell your spouse, your children, your parents, everyone you run across.

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.

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
It works if you park in your driveway or garage.
If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break in your house, odds are the burglar 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!

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 prevent a sexual assault.

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.

It would also be useful for any emergency, such as a
heart attack, where you can't reach a phone.
