PUT YOUR CAR KEYS BESIDE YOUR BED AT NIGHT

Tell your spouse, your children, your neighbors, your parents, your
Dr's office, the check-out girl at the market, everyone you run across
to put your car keys beside your bed at night.
If you hear a noise outside your home or someone trying to get into
your home, just press the panic button for your car. The alarm will be
set off, and it 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 making the alarm noise
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 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.
