THOUGHT THIS MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA FOR ALL OF US.

What to take to bed with you - not a joke.
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. 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.
