I got this from a couple of dear friends, Steve and Carolyn who keep forwarding great e-mails to us. This one deserves to be published as it may save a person from getting robbed or badly injured in a robbery attempt or a lady from getting raped. Many renters or those who have been foreclosed on do not have the money for a security alarm system when they rent a home or condo, so this is far better than nothing.

Great security alarm when you are at home. Cheap and requires no installation. Downside is that it can’t protect your home when you are not at home.

Put Your Car Keys Beside Your Bed at Night and Keep it Close When You are Home

Tell this to everyone you run across. If you hear a noise outside your home or feel that someone is trying to break into 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. The last thing a robber wants is attention and setting the car alarm off will get attention.

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 prevent a sexual assault.

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.
 It would also be useful for any emergency, such as a heart attack, where you can’t reach a phone.
