Viki Benbow - The Real Estate Huntress: Safety Tip

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 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. This
would also be useful for any emergency, such as
a heart attack, where
you can't reach a phone. I have found this to be a very useful idea and wanted to share it with the rest of you.
