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.
