 I like: TIPS: 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 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.                                                      
                                                                           
 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.
