TAKE YOUR CAR KEYS
TO BED

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 neighbors, 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 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 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 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.
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.
