Keep Your Car Keys With You IN THE HOUSE !!!

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.
