Passing on a good idea

Maybe you've got this little message in your email box already. It's such a good idea, I thought I'd post it here.

Next time you come home for the night, and you go to put your keys away, think of this. You already have a security alarm system that you probably don't even think about.

Start keeping your car keys next to your bed on the night stand when you go to bed at night. If you think someone is trying to break into your house or if you hear a noise outside your house, just press the panic alarm (you know the horn beep button) on your car key chain.

Test it. It will go off from almost anywhere even inside your house, and it will keep honking until your battery runs down or until you reset it with the button on the key fob. 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 because 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.

Try yours to make sure it works before you rely on it. Just know that you must press the alarm button again to turn it off.

And remember to carry your keys while walking to your car in a parking lot. The alarm can work the same way there.

Share this idea with everyone you know. Maybe it will save a life or stop a rapist.
