Safety Tip - No Joke!  
HIT The Car Alarm…double duty!

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
alarm 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 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 rap ist 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.
