PUT YOUR CAR KEYS BESIDE YOUR BED AT NIGHT
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 in 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.
 
It would also be useful for any emergency, such as a heart
attack, where you can't reach a phone.
 
As North Lake Home Owners, let's be aware of a car alarm going off and take
a few moments to check on our neighbors to ensure they are all right.
