Hope this ok to do
What to take to bed with you - not a joke
Pretty neat idea. Never thought of it before.



Put your car keys beside your bed at night


Tell your spouse, your children, your neighbours, your parents,
your Dr's office, 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 neighbourhood 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 neighbours 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.
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

A very neat idea if you live in town where your neighbors can hear the car alarm if somthing goes wrong. Thanks for the tip.
But if one lives in the country like I do the car alarm going off in the garage isent going to do much good if the neighbors arnt close enough to hear it.
But the noise would most likley scare off an intruder though, unless he is a seasond criminal and knowes approx. how much time he can spend doing whatever without getting caught.
