| Good Advice 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.

| I believe it's Volvo that has a "life detector" in their new cars that will let you know if somebody is in it as you approach.

| I don't sleep that close to my truck, I don't think it would set it off.

| I really appreciate the tip. It's just me an my son here, no guns, a huskey that is afraid of his shadow, a lap that might just lick someone to death, a mut that is to fat to waddle, oh but yes, there is my farosious schitzu, he would tear up somebody's ankles. Really i like the idea.
