Put Your Car Keys Beside Your Bed at Night

Tell your spouse, your children, your neighbors, your parents, your Dr’s office, the clerk at the checkout line. 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 into your house, just press the panic button for your car. The alarm will be set off, and the horn will continue to honk 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 almost 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. 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 surely the criminal will not want that. And remember to carry your keys while walking to your car in a parking lot. The car alarm can work the same way. This is something that should really be shared with everyone. Maybe it could save a life or prevent a sexual abuse crime.
