Great Idea... a friend sent this, I am passing it on.
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. 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
The last part I like, as I have fallen in the past and had to wait for someone to come out to me
