What to take to bed with you - not a joke.
Pretty neat idea.
Never thought of it before.
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 to 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/rapist won't stick around.
After a few seconds all the neighbours 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.

Good Idea!!
Sometimes the simple ideas are the best.
Although in your case Lew, I full expect you to mix up some epoxy and throw
it under the burglar's feet. :-)

I accidentally hit the panic button on my car keys about once a fortnight.
We have two cars with the same key, so I'm never sure which one it is I've
got to turn off!

What to take...what to take...
The keys are a good idea providing it is all within operational
parameters.
Personally, a road flare, to toss onto the street in front of the
house...and, of course, a sawed off 410.
Oh, and a ninja dog.
When all that fails, I whisper in Ang's ear that the intruder said
something derogatory about the Maritimes.
I rigged a horn to my dome light so when somebody opens my door without
turning off the switch hidden in the grill ,it will sound and scare the
crap out of them. I also put a door button under the hood.
The wife left the car for service repair once AND forgot to turn it off.
So now when we take it in the guys always have ear plugs on when she
picks up the car.

I once shot a roman candle out my third floor window when a guy was
taking christmas stuff out of my yard and stuffing Santa in his back
seat .After the car fire was put out I got a warning from the police
about how dangerous it is to set off fire works in my home. He did say
it was the funniest thing seeing fire balls bouncing around in a car.

I have one, a 2000 Stratus. I took that GD fob off my key ring years
ago, because every third time I slid into the driver's seat, that POS
starting the car flashing its lights and blowing its horn. I have no
idea where it is now. It's possible I took it off and stomped it one
day when I was in a bad mood.
I have a dog. No one has to press her button to wake us up. After
that, it's up to the fool as to what he does. One way draws at least
one barrel of a 20 gauge.

Agreed. This probably applies to the majority, but not vast majority of
people and is still very good advice in most cases.
Our family is at 50% coverage if you don't include the bikes.

My new Tundra is the first I've had with an electronic fob.
Egad, that sounds indecent!

Great idea. I'll put them on the nightstand next to the .357.

Well keyless entry 25 years ago and further back was an option and was at
an extra cost. With keyless entry naturally came the ability to wire into
the vehicle horn to act as an alarm. Now days it is pretty common for a
vehicle to have all of those features as standard in all but the entry level
trim levels.

Hold my beer and watch this!
True story..
When we were kids we shot bottle rockets out of the car through a twirlers
baton for accuracy..... One day the bottle rocket took off in side the car
with all but one window closed,,,,before we could shove it in the baton.....
Damn near wrecked the car...

Dang Charlie.... If you don't disarm the alarm isn't it suppose to go off
when you open the door and slide in.... ;~)
I have a dog. No one has to press her button to wake us up. After
that, it's up to the fool as to what he does. One way draws at least
one barrel of a 20 gauge.

Don't do that. The car alarm will wake the neighbors unnecessarily.

Could work, but don't count on the neighbors. Most will just roll over and
say "that idiot's car alarm is going off again" and try to get back to
sleep. There are so many false alarms, people tend not to bother.
If someone is lurking outside your house, it may be enough to scare them
away.

Not a bad idea. However, car alarms are generally ignored by most because
of all the false alarms. Read a statistic several years ago that something
on the order of greater than 90% of car alarm soundings were simply ignored
by people nearby. Unfortunately, the bad guys know this as well. It might
be that a nervous burglar might be frightened by this, so there is some
potential to avert.

You have to have a vehicle with a car alarm in order for this to work.
I keep pressing my keys and nothing happens!

Yup, that was my first thought when I read it. Worst idea ever.
(plus, in the dark you might accidentally press the button that opens
the car door. Why not just hand the vehicle to any intruders on a plate? :-)
