A GREAT TIP FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT
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 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 chain.
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 or 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.
P.S. I am sending this to everyone I know because I
think it is fantastic. It would also be useful for any emergency,
such as a heart attack, where you can't reach a phone.
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.

That's a great idea (or um, it would be if my keys ever left my ignition!)!! I posted this for the girls on my other forum - thanks for giving me the info.

I set off my alarm in the early morning before, when there was a mountain lion in the area
