PUT YOUR CAR KEYS BESIDE YOUR BED AT NIGHT

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 just about anywhere 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.

If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break in your house, odds are the intruder won’t stick around… after a few seconds neighbors will be looking out their windows to see who is out there and and 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. It could save a life or a sexual abuse crime.

It would also be useful for any emergency, such as a heart attack, when you are in trouble and can’t reach a phone to call 911.  A wife suggested to her husband to 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.

Can you think of any ways that your car alarm can save you or someone?  E-mail me and let me know, I will post it here!
