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. (Some are set to
go off for a predetermined amount of time.) 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.
